Looking for a buddy who's done it in Mexico



Recommended Posts

Hi there:

I am looking for a buddy who's had their Lap Band surgery done in Mexico. I found a very experienced doctor in Monterrey Mexico; Dr. Rumbaut who fits the bill so far.

I'm still in the beginning research stage but getting more confident about the decision every day. I really could use someone to share their experience with me and possibly a strong shoulder.

I went to Dr. Kuri at hospital Angeles at the end of May this year. My husband and my parents were also banded then as well. We had a great, hastle free experience (except for the VERY HARD beds at the hotel) and would do it the same again if we had to. If you would like to chat I would love to help out!

I went to Dr. Naketa in Juarez, its right across the border and you fly into El Paso.

I think you need to decide which gateway city is the most conveinent and which price and doctor you like and weigh all the factors. Im in Texas, so El Paso was my choice. You can also go thru Larado, but I had heard too many bad things about that city and drugs and the hospital was a couple of hours over the border, so I refused to consider that gateway city. tons of good choices.

      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.
