A really great team of doctors and staff, I have lost 250 pounds and have received excellent care. I recommend dr. G and his team for anyone looking for complete care before and AFTER your surgery. They are in Tijuana, Mexico. 5 minutes from the US Mexico border on the other side of San Diego. Check out his thread: Has anyone heard of dr. Francisco Gonzalez?

I had the best medical experience of my life in Mexico. Dr. Rumbaut is banded as you probably know. Its so cool to talk to a doc that understands. He also one of the most experienced lap band docs in the western hemisphere....The hospital was clean and more hi tech than the hospital in my home town. There are many Mex docs that have good reps...I wish you well and its very wise of you to do your research. I was banded 10-12-06 and am almost at goal.

Thanks. That is very sweet. I had my band re-done by Dr Billy here in Ventura last Jan. In May I had all my fill removed because I am pregnant. I am due in Jan and will get back on the program after I have the baby. It is so weird having NO restriction! I went 4 years having to think carefully about every ounce of food that went in my mouth. Is there a bathroom near by in case something gets stuck etc....Now, it is very strange to eat bread and all the things I couldn't eat before.

I went from 220lbs to around 164lbs once. I will do it again!

Thanks again!

Christine

I am so sorry for your troubles. I know you are in good hands now! Dr. Billy is my aftercare surgeon ..I sure am glad I found him.

Has anybody heard about Dr. Lopez Corvala at the Angeles Hospital?.. is he reliable?

I was banded 6 weeks ago by Dr. Corvala. He is a great surgeon and the hospital was amazing. I am not impressed with his follow up care. I sent them an email 4 weeks ago and no response. If you want a Dr that is going to give you immediate follow up attention I would not choose him.

There were several people on my floor when I was there that had Dr. Kuri do their surgery and I actually got to talk to him. If I had to do it over again I would use Dr. Kuri rather than Dr. Corvala.

I was banded Jan 2006 by Rumbaut & his team in Monterrey. It was a very good experience, and about half of what the local bariatric surgeon charges. The local group is not eager to take on aftercare for patients they did not operate on, but Rumbaut had a couple of other resources within an hour or two drive. If you are self-pay, or live in an area where lap-band costs are high, I would consider Rumbaut at the top of the list.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
