920amy 409 Posted March 12, 2013 Yes, I used ALighterme to schedule my surgery. My coordinator was Rhonda, but I also spoke with and ended up meeting Janice. I had my surgery in Tijuana Mexico with Dr. Alejandro Lopez, and Dr. Ortiz at Mi hospital. Feel free to PM me or ask any questions. I had a great experience and would highly recommend them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted March 12, 2013 yes many use alighterme or Ready4Achange to co-ordinate their surgeries. I had mine with Dr Garcia in Tijuana Mexico co-ordinated by ready4achange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ljp 157 Posted March 12, 2013 Did you guys chose the sleeve surgery? If so how was your experience going there? I had mine in Acuna Mexico but its cheaper in Tijuana so she is looking into having it done there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
920amy 409 Posted March 12, 2013 I did have the sleeve. TJ was not half as bad as I imgined it would be. I actually live about 5 minutes from teh Border in AZ, and most of our border towns are no where near as nice and clean. With ALighterMe, I stayed at the Marriott which seemed to be pretty centrally located. There was a Walmart in a neat plaza about 3 blocks away and there was a casino. I didn't feel like doing too much more exploring thatn that. I was able to get a taxi too and from Wal Mart for about 4 bucks, but one time I just walked there it wasn't bad. All of the chicken broth and popsicles from the hotel were free. The hotel was nice. Mi hospital was really clean, I had a room I shared with my mom who came with me for my surgery, and the hospital room had a private bathroom with shower. I would be happy to tell you all about my experience, and your friend too if either of you would like more details just ask!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
