Going to Mexico in MAY!!! - anyone else been?



Recommended Posts

Dr. Roberto Rumbaut is my doc, and I am way nervous. My fear is that going to Mexico wouldn't be as safe as going somewhere here in the US. HOWEVER everyone I've spoken with at Dr Rumbaut's office has seemed very professional, not to mention the Dr's glowing resume. Has anyone else been to Mexico for this surgery, or has anyone else scheduled a surgery with this doctor?

Any general words of advice for me, as a pre-op patient?

Thanks yall!

I had my surgery in Juarez, Mexico by Dr.Rod. It was a great. The people were really nice, like they were glad you were there unlike some US hospitals where they act more like your a bother or just another number. The Hospital was very clean and nicer (almost spa like) then the hospitals here where I live. 5 other people from the US were getting banded the same day I was. We've all stayed in touch and try to encourage one another with our journey. Overall I am quite pleased with the care I received. Just make sure you have aftercare set up ahead of time. It's pretty hard to find a Dr. in the states that will take a Mexico patient. I am lucky enough to have a Fill Center USA about an hour from my home. Good luck and Congrats:thumbup:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
