I too am new to the forum. I have been researching the net on Doctors in Mexico, and I would like to know if anyone has used or have any additional information on Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey-Jan Jose, Hospital and Dr. Javia de lo Garza, Monterrey-OCA Hospital. I am planning to pay for my daughter, 31, to have the lap band surgery this summer, and have been worried about the procedure. Most of the doctors in our area cost much more and require many tests pre-op such as sleep apnea test ,GI tests, EKG, Blood work, etc. Do you know what tests the doctors in Mexico require and is it included in the prices. If they should find a problem pre-op do they fix it and include it in their price, or do you pay extra? I also hear it is hard to find a doctor in the states to do the fills, and if you do you have to pay high prices. We live in northern Mississipii close to Memphis, TN. The receptionist at one office, said something about a filter may be needed and something about the liver. After hearing about all of the tests required by the U.S. doctors, I am worried about using doctors in Mexico. I would never forgive myself if I put my daughter in danger. I do understand that all surgery has it risks. She has been obsese all of her life and has tried various diets and diet pills. Can anyone help me?
Thanks for any information!!
