Topic: RE: AlighterMe.com

I didn't go through a lighter me.. I initially chose Mexico Bariatrics Center and I had a bad experience with them so I end up booking directly through my doctor as well.

I was sleeved on 2/16/15 with Dr. Alejandro Lopez he and his team was excellent.. My experience was great the VIDA hospital I stays in was great.  After doing a lot of research I chose a doctor that best fit me needs. And I'm so glad I did.... If you have any direct question please contact me I will be happy to help you.. 

Good luck..

Topic: RE: Insurance coverage for aftercare on Mexico VSG

What do you mean by after care, I have BCBS and I'm able to go to my PCP for follow up appts. As it relates to complications they will check you several times before you leave Mexico so if their is a problem you'll know right away. But if you have to go to the ER at home they will cover you. But I'm sure you won't have any problems with your sleeve.

As far as your guest, I had my surgery at VIDA hospital my husband stayed in the room with me. There's two beds in the room he slept in his bed and all of his food while at VIDA was free for him and he ate liked a King, all he talked about was how good the food was and post-op meds are included. But it depends on what hospital, what Dr you are having your surgery with.. Ask your coordinator to be sure...

Good luck and there is nothing to be nervous about.

Topic: RE: $2999 Sleeves in mexico......anybody know about this?

I'd be very scared of that price. I don't think the reputable Dr's could afford to do it at that price and keep you safe.
