OMG, he's the best, I mean the very best. I had him, he done mine on July 10, of this year and I absolutely love him. I have the 4cc's 9.75 inamed low profile band. I had no problems at all and so far so good. I've lost about 50 pounds in barely 3 months. He and his staff are wonderful. He's done almost 7000 of these so he knows his stuff. Inamed ask him first to be their rep but he turned them down and then Dr. Ortiz took it. They're both great doctors.

PM me if you have any questions. You have nothing to worry about with him, I promise you.

I was banded on Sept 21, 2006 in Monterrey Mexico by Dr. Roberto Rumbaut and I was really scared too. However, I had a really great experience. Dr. Rumbaut and his staff are very professional and the facilities are top notch. I was extremely surprised at how everything seemed to work like a well oiled machine. From the 1st e-mail to the time I came home, everything went so smoothly. They really give you the sense that they care about your success.

Dr. Rumbaut even visits you in your hotel the day after you are released from the hospital and his staff members visit you the day after. I felt very well taken care of. I would recommend Dr. Rumbaut to anyone.

The only snag I had in Mexico was my fault. I forgot to call my cell phone provider to make sure my phone would work in Mexico. It only takes about a days notice to work once you notify your provider.

Whatever you choose, I wish you good luck and hope that you have as great as an experience as I did.

Try putting a search in (top of page) with your surgeons name. You'll probably get a bunch of info.

Good luck, Shawn

I went to Dr. Sanchez on June 2 of this year and he and his staff are the greatest. My only regret was that I couldn't have gone years ago.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
