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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
