My experience with A Lighter Me could not have been better! My surgeon was very caring and knowledgeable. He put me at ease and took very good care of me. I felt like royalty! I am so happy to be losing weight and feeling better. My doctor even thinks I will be able to throw away my diabetes medicine! I am so grateful to the people at A Lighter me. M.L.

Lupe has lost over 150 pounds!

I am very happy with my surgery and with my surgeon. I felt very well taken care of and like they couldn't do enough for me. I was scared to go to Mexico, but soon found that I had nothing to worry about. The hospital was gorgeous and very well equipped. I would recommend a Lighter Me to anyone looking to have weight loss surgery.

Thanks to A Lighter Me I was able to afford the surgery to get my life back! My insurance company excludes all types of bariatric surgery. With a limited budget, I set out to find a good surgeon that I could afford. A Lighter Me put me in touch with my surgeon. They took care of all the arrangements, covered my hotel and even included a cell for while I was there! It was nice not to have to stress over everything that goes along with traveling away from home for surgery. My surgeon was fabulous. Thanks again!

I had my surgery 7 months ago and have lost 82 lbs already! Without the folks at A Lighter Me, I never would have found the wonderful my surgeon. They showed me that I can afford surgery and they took care of my hotel and transportation from the airport! I didn't have to worry about any of the details. I can't thank you enough!

Hi Miss sandy!
Weel back home now after getting sleeved Tuesday. Our Surgeon and his staff were all WONDERFUL! So committed and caring we felt we were treated like royalty.I'm not kidding. He is AMAZING! And I plan on telling EVERYONE I can tell about him and his staff and the nurses and the drivers and really everyone we came into contact with. I was down there the same time as D.A. and A.W. and her dad. We all hung out together and shared the experience. And I think we will all be good friends for a lifetime. It really was great!
Let the doctor know how AWESOME we all thought he was, that would be great. And also thank you to YOU for helping me so much figure all this out! You were always very patient with all my questions and I am forever grateful to you!
Again, thanks for everything and being a part of this amazing new journey I have just begun. You are an angel! lOVE ALWAYS,
D

Sandy,
I wish to personally thank you for arranging for my sleeve surgery on March 15th. Everything went just as smooth as could be. I was treated with the utmost respect from ALL the staff. I arrived in San Diego with no worries. Ricardo was there when he said, actually early. He was such a nice gentleman. Arrival at the Hospital was also non stressful for me. The hospital staff treated me with such kindness. The nurses were excellent. Then upon meeting the doctor and the way he treated me was just fabulous. To have a cardiologist visit me, and perform the EKG was a pleasant surprise. I believe that recovery from surgery is mostly mental and with no worries, I recovered quickly. It wasn’t long and I was on my feet and walking, as a matter of fact, I started walking the same day as my surgery. I attribute this quick recovery due to not having to stress or be fearful of my surgery. I felt very comfortable and at ease with the staff. The hotel was wonderful. Even the hotel staff were well informed of what my needs were, right down to the waiter in the restaurant. I felt very safe in Tijuana. I have told everyone who asks that A Lighter Me is the way to go, and have nothing but good things to say. KUDOS to A Lighter Me for doing their best with my care. Everyone was truly concerned with my well being. I just can’t say enough thanks.
I have referred a friend of mine to you. Thanks again Sandy for the best surgery ever. I am now down 12lbs and I know I couldn’t have done this without your and the staff’s assistance. Thanks again!
