Readytolose2012 88 Posted November 11, 2012 The coordinators do just that .... They coordinate your trip and as far as I can tell it doesn't cost any more. The surgeons would need to have someone coordinate trips anyway so this process works for them. I used dr Garcia and A Lighter Me 8/31 had a great experience. 1 JoJo57 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
binipkey 14 Posted November 11, 2012 I am another Dr. Garcia patient who used Ready 4 a Change. Had surgery on 11-08-12 and everyone had been amazing. I came alone and have been soooo grateful to Melissa (ready 4 a change hospital coordinator) who was a huge support, Rosie for her assistance settling into the hotel & Samuel the driver. All have gone up and beyond the call of duty. Harmoni 3 nurseghana, zenoosh and AngelEyesInNJ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snoozeyoulose 10 Posted November 14, 2012 Dr. Garcia and Ready 4 a Change are excellent choices. Would recommend them to anyone. Had my surgery with Dr. Garcia on November 7th 2011 and have lost 91 lbs in a year. So happy with my results. 2 AngelEyesInNJ and lilly's journey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suzthebrit 146 Posted November 15, 2012 I went with Dr. Garcia. He was fantastic! Rosie and Mellie are both amazing. Samuel the driver lives by his own schedule but is very very pleasant. I was in MX alone and they made me feel great and spent time sitting with me and answering all my questions. I would recommend Ready 4 a Change and Dr. Garcia to anybody. 2 Robbino and nurseghana reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

amytug 996 Posted November 15, 2012 Does anyone know how many surgeries Dr. Garcia does in a day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jarrod1997 12 Posted November 15, 2012 From what I was told Alma at Ready 4 a Change 4-5 a day Depending on what type of surgery. 1 amytug reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amytug 996 Posted November 15, 2012 Is that the norm? It seems steep. "/ I'm jot trying to sound negative, I'm actually cleared for surgery w Garcia, but for some reason, I'm second guessing my choice. Gah!! I can't even pick out socks!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missingtheoldme 2 Posted November 15, 2012 I'm thinking about puting down my Deposit tomorrow with Ready 4 a Change. For a surgery date of jan 7th. Has anyone used this DR? And how was there Experience? Thanks for Sharing. I used Ready4Achange (Alma) and Dr Garcia did my surgery. I am a week out (Nov 7th) and I can honestly say that the entire experience was amazing!! Mi hospital and staff have this procedure down to an art form. About 45 min after surgery you are up walking! I walked to the recovery room window and waved aty friend who had surgery right after me! This procedure/recovery was 1000 times easier than my c- sections. I strongly recommend this facility. They are AMAZING!! 2 LisaLoseAlotx2 and lilly's journey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
