I'm looking into getting the process started and doing my homework. I'm thinking of going with a Lighter Me. I've been checking out there website which of I'm scared going out of the U.S. just because what if something happens and you are back home? I see the pricing is considerably cheaper than in the U.S. Can you all please give me some insight on A Lighter Me and is there any others that are better? I need advice please. Thank you

I looked into Lighter Me and I wasn't very impressed. Their prices are more expensive. I decided to have my surgery in Tijuana Mexico and I went to www.tijuanabariatrics.com The doctors are amazing and highly respected in Mexico and the US. I am having the DS surgery with Dr. Garcia on the 11th of March. The hospital is right near the US board and the Ocean. The hospital will pick me up at the San Diego airport and bring me to the hospital, I will have surgery the next day and leave 5 days after that. They will then bring me back to the airport. The coordinator will plan your whole trip. All I did was pick the dates and flights (I went with Southwest, best deal and great service and care with their 'customer of size' policy). Hope this helps some.

Hello Jennifer, I was worried if you could give me the contact information for your Cordinator.

I went through ALM and was very happy with all the staff . Dr. Ortiz did an awesome job. I had an awesome experience from beginning to end. I stayed in MiDoctor Hospital and the Marriott on Day three up until I left. The Hospital was very clean and all of the hospital staff were very nice and took great care of me. I'm glad I chose ALM!
