I am going through them in Puerto Vallarta on November 15 with Dr. Lopez & Osuna.  I have scoured the web for all kinds of info on them.  There are some things on Youtube and a couple websites.  I also met someone on here that is there right now and I'm waiting to hear back from them to see how everything went.  A lighter me is a pretty good coordinator.  They're out of California and I have been talking to Ronda from there and she is really nice and always available to answer my questions, so I'm pretty happy with them so far.  I guess the real test will be in three weeks when we're there.

I am back home from my oct 23 sleeve. Dr Lopez and all staff were excellent. Feel free to ask questions, I would recommend them without hesitation.

Did you use a Lighter Me?  Can you go to them with out going thru a lighter me?  Did you go to TJ or another location?  Would love a whole review when you are up to it. 

Wishing you a Safe and healthy recovery and weight loss.

I am fairly certain she went with alighterme.  I am going through them as well and I think they are a good company.  I've been working with Ronda and she has been answering any question I have thus far.

I used a lighter me and went to TJ. It was an amazing experience, I went on my own and felt very safe and fully supported by the team there. Hospital was excellent, hotel was excellent. Not one bad thing to say. It will be a week tomorrow I had surgery and I was out for a 6 hr shopping excursion, hair appt etc. no problems and I am 54.

Wow!  That's great!  I'm glad your experience was a good one!  I have a case of the mad nerves today, but hopefully they will subside.  Even though I'm not going alone, our support person is probably mostly going to be with my mom.  It's her boyfriend...so it makes me feel better that I will still be okay even though I'll be mostly on my own.

I am also going through A Lighter Me and Ronda is also my coordinator!  I am very impressed with everything so far.  I'm having my surgery 1/7.  The ONLY complaint that I have is that Ronda has been trying to talk to me about how to save money by doing my taxes differently through this other company that she somehow sponsors.  It gives me a Amway kind of vibe..and I'm not cool with that.  Seemed a little unprofessional.  Other than that...super excited!
