Carrie22803 0 Posted July 26, 2005 Hello! I had surgery in Mexico on July 14th, and I do not regret it yet!!! Ha, it's only been 11 days, but I am very excited. Advice - just soak in the experience and feel good about doing this for yourself. I love Dr. Rumbaut and his staff, they are great. It is weird to be in a place where not much English is spoken, but everyone is extremely nice and helpful - nothing but curteous!! Dr. Rumbaut himself is fabulous, ask him to show you his before pics, he is a whole new man! He let me use his cell phone 2 times to call my husband in Maryland because I went by myself...pain varies after the operation, but the ladies I met were up and about no problem. I had more pain because he went through my belly button and did a more cosmetic surgery since I am only 25. But even that wasn't bad, just very tender and sore...but you get plenty of pain medicine and information. If you have any questions, let me know...I'd be glad to go into more detail about everything and send you some pics from my trip to Mexico (there's one of me and Dr. Rumbaut as well as the hotel and hospital!) Congrats!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
