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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
