Lighter Dream Bariatrics is an emerging corporation that assists overweight and obese individuals to undergo affordable obesity-treatment options, known as bariatric surgery. Similar to many other intermediaries, Lighter Dream is a middleman that coordinates, refers, and connects patients with a few bariatric surgeons in Tijuana, Mexico.
Weight loss surgery in Mexico is a very dynamic, fluctuating industry. The dilemma that they are facing is that anyone can simply contact their surgeons directly for the same package at a lower price.
About Lighter Dream in Mexico
Lighter Dream’s mission is to make a difference, for patients and people. They accomplish this in claims of offering safe practices and looking out for more than just the patient. Their company is aimed toward making the process as simple and streamlined as possible.
Lighter Dream is a brand new Mexico medical tourism facilitator with few reviews and little to no trust. We have tried to contact their patients to share honest reviews but have unfortunately had no response, which is rare.
