Dr. Rumbaut is great. Very experienced, is/was the president of the Mexican version of the American Bariatric society (forget the exact wording of that one), he's banded himself, and his patients seem to like him a great deal. He has the skill and experience necessary as well as training, etc.

I had my surgery done by Dr. G (Dr. Gonzales) in TJ and had a great experience. Everyone on the team are excellent in what they do and very friendly. I fly back there for my fills and they've become like family to me. If you'd like to know more about my experience just post me.....

I forgot to tell you that I think the prices in MX for the surgery are all around $7,000 to $8,000. That would include everything and lifetime free fills. 23_33_21.gif

I think one issue with Rumbaut is people like his experience and stats. Many like going to Monterrey because it is a bit safer town, more of a vacation spot, etc. Lots of tourists vacationing there, too.

Personally I wanted to be closer to the border when having surgery. I wanted to be able to walk back if need be. But I'm a weenie that way. :wink_smile:

I have not heard of anyone who wasn't very happy with Dr. Gonzales.

YES, being close to the border makes a big difference. Some one picks me up at airport in San Diego or at the border. I wouldn't want to walk around very much on my own. Dr. G's clinic is right close to the border. Another plus for me is that I can take a flight to San Diego for around $150 for my fills. I hear the cost of fill doctors can be very high....much more than that air-ticket.

Where is Monterrey, down by the Gulf?

      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.
