Deposit ( Ready 4 Change )



Recommended Posts

Before I paid my deposit for Dr. Garcia, I watched a few videos on YouTube. The hospital seems a little small but clean.

You won't be in a room with another patient. These rooms are for patients who have a travel mate. I had a single bed in a private room.

When is your surgery? What mad you pick dr Garcia?

I am sorry, I didn't see this message..

It was the reviews on this message board, online research, pricing, talking with a few people personally, youtube, and alma. I also was able to email Dr. Garcia concerning a health issue and his experiences both good and bad. He responded very quickly and offered to call.

My surgery is scheduled for 2/21/13

I will speak to my coordinator about this. If that is the case, I would rather be in the room with my sleeve buddy.

I was sleeved on Oct. 30th with Dr. Garcia and my experience was great! My husband and I had a room to ourselves, but then again we were the only ones on the floor for the stay. As we were leaving... Samuel our driver said he was picking up 5 more patients the next day, so with that said not sure if they will all have their own room.

Yes the hospital is small, but definitely well equipped. They may not have the MOST advanced tools of the trade.. for instance I kind of giggled a little when they took my tempreture with an old school mercury thermometer and place it in my armpit. I haven't had that done in YEARS!!! LOL

I would highly reccomend Dr. Garcia and his staff!

They asked us at the Mi hospital if you would be willing to share or not, there were 6 of us in the group and we all had our own rooms :-)

Just curious what the deposit amount is with ready 4a change. I'm thinking of changing my option to self pay Mexico instead of going thru insurance since I will end up paying roughly the same amount and would get in sooner with going to Mexico..... Is the deposit the same for everyone?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
