My band was placed Nov.27th (2 days ago) by Dr. Rumbaut and everything went fantastic, experiencing very minimal pain (sutures where port is located) and a little gas pains, liquids are passing very well, and i have already lost 2 pounds since the pre-op testing ( 2 days ago).  Dr. Rumbaut and his entire staff is excellant,very caring and kind. The hotel staff is good. I am so impressed with the medical treatment here in Mexico (so much better than the states). I would recommend Dr. Rumbaut to anyone that is considering wieght loss surgery.

Just wanted to say congrats on your band! I also was very impressed with my care in Mexico, would do it again in a heartbeat. My boyfriend had the band here in dallas not long ago and I gotta say I was less than impressed with his care and the hospital.

There are many great surgeons in Mexico and Rumbaut is certainly one of them.  Congrats to you!  The day of surgery really is the first day of the rest of your life.  A newer and better life! Welcome to this side of the bench!

CONGRATULATIONS! Happy to hear that you are doing well.
I was banded on November 23rd. I started blended foods three days ago, what a delight that was. Biggest lesson learned first meal out. Take small bites and wait at least 30-45 seconds between. Sliming is real, so is the tightness and general pain in the chest. I was scared to death that I would vomit. I felt it coming a few times, but it was just a warning not to do it again.

I would also recommend my surgeon to anyone who inquired. His name is Dr. Daniel Huacuz. He and his staff was very professional and caring.

May your recovery continue to be smooth and uneventful. Happy travels. Kimberly
