Dr. Osuna - Rubio / Ready 4a Change - Anyone use her and Ready 4a Change?



Recommended Posts

Anyone use her? I am a bit concerned that it seems like after surgery no one has any way to contact her. She has great results and seems wonderful. Ready 4a Change tells people that they do not need follow up care after the sleeve (?) and that seems a bit off. It is also an additional $300 for 6 months of follow up with Dr. Luna. $300 is fairly inexpensive but it seems like other groups offer this for free.

I would prefer to book with her directly like her husband Dr. Lopez but I am not sure if this is an option.

I used Ready 4a Change, but used Dr Perez in Cancun. They did a good job and I was satisfied. I coordinated preop care (tests and bloodwork) with my local PCP and have a follow up visit with her next week. I was sleeved 5/26 and have lost 51 lbs including 16 on the pre op diet.

My insurance did not cover WLS and chose this route given I felt my health was at stake and I wanted to act.

Can you contact Dr. Perez and are you satisfied with the nutritional counseling you received?

I was set up for to contact via email if needed and got very little nutritional counseling but am working with a nutritionist locally. I approached this from the perspective that I would need to manage all the preop and postop work on my own and that has worked fine.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
