you have to go with Dr. Brinkley. She is the best. Be sure to ask about her "ASS" she has a stray donkey living with her on her farm. She is a real treasure. I can't say enough about her. I commute over 1 hour to get fills. Good Luck. Buffy

I am two weeks post op and am very hungry. We are on vacation at the beach and I have four kids to still cook for plus hubby. I am now eating solid food really chewed up. Is this o.k.? I feel that I am cheating and will not lose weight. I haven't been on a scale in five days so I do'tknow is I have lost or not. Should I stop eating normal food chewed really well. I am only two weeks post op. I shouldn't be filled for 4 more weeks. What do I do. I feel fine, except that I am cheating myself. Help. Is this normal to eat so much mushie food? Thanks, Buffy

Hello There, Has anyone had any experience with Dr. Rumbout in Monterey, Mexico? I feel pretty good about my decision to have the surgery on Thrusday, August 11th. Any input will help.

This was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. Rumbaut and his staff are the absolute best!!!!!!!!! I don't think that I ever once for a moment questioned my decision. Rumbaut is the best.==Hands down.

I Am Just Returning To The Hotle From The Hopsital. I Am Officially Banded. Yeh. The Experience Was Positive. No Real Problems, Except Pain Management. I Coundn`t sleep Last Night After The Operation. I Will Fly Back Tomorrow To Washington,d.c. I´ll Keep In Touch Then.

I am getting banded in Mexico on Thursday and need a fill scheduled here. Wo would you recommend? Thanks, Carolyn

How much do you spend for a fill in your area? What is reasonable?

I am having my surgery done on Thursday in Monterey, Mexico. Can I use Vicodan after surgery or do I need to use the pain killer that the Dr. perscribes?

What are the charges? Thanks,

Can you put neosporin on the stitches and then cover them with a waterproof bandage?

Can you put neosporin on the incisions and keep tham covered until they heal?

I feel so much more comfortable knowing that there are happy patients out there. I am most concerned about the pain killers! I have Vicodin do you think that I can use that right away?

I'll be there in mexico Hampton Inn next week. Anyone palnning a surgery in Mexico next week?

I hope that you feel better and your outlook will improve. It wil get easier each day. Good luck.

Hello There, I will be a bandster on thrusday - God willing. I am going to Monterey Mexico with Dr. Rumbaut. I am especially anxious about the post op pain. What are you given for pain? I have Vicadan from a shoulder injury last month. Will that kill any of the pain? Will anyone in Mexico give us good painkillers for the pain? Newbe here, my first day on the forum. Have a Blessed Day. Buffy

I'll pray for you everyday. I will be in your shoes on Wednesday. I have my surgery on Thursday. Relax. The Lord is with you. Have a Blessed Day, Carolyn
