  3. 6 years has passed since you registered at LapBandTalk! Happy 6th Anniversary shalopash!

  4. Dr. Rumbault. You cannot find a better surgeon. I just had my gall bladder out and the surgeon said she was going to look around while she was in there. She said the band looked great. In fact a bariatric surgeon came in while she was checking things out and made the comment that it was very nicely done. Before I went to Dr. Rumbault (2 1/2 years ago) I did a lot of research and I could not find anyone that had had a bad experience with him. He really is that good. Good luck, whatever you decide to do.

    Sleepless From Reflux

    How long between the last time you eat and when you go to bed? Eating too soon before bedtime can cause these symptoms.

    I Cant Stop Eating!!!

    Not an expert by any means, but perhaps you need to eat more protein. It seems the more I eat the less hungry I am.

    Tijuane vs. Monterrey, Help!

    After much research I went to Dr. Rumbaut. I'm very pleased with that decision for many reasons. However, as stated above, before going to Mexico make sure you have someone who will do your fills (unless you are going to return to Mexico for the fills). I personally have gone back to Monterrey for my fills because I was so impressed with Dr. Rumbaut and I don't want anyone else to mess up my band. I also live in Texas so it's not that far to go.

    Erosion, The Real Facts

    This thread has been amazing. I just have to put in my two cents. First of all, medicine is certainly not an exact science, so even the greatest surgeon or doctor, or whatever you want to call them, can make a mistake or even if he or she doesn't make a mistake each patient reacts differently (within a certain range) to a specific form of treatment. I don't think it is appropriate to damn all Mexican doctors. I have seen lots of posts on various boards from people who have had eroded bands that had their surgery done in the U.S. There are good and bad doctors every where. I'm glad that people that can't afford to have the surgery in the U.S. at least have the opportunity to have it at all. I have met people who had their surgery in Mexico as far back as 1991 and have had no problems. I have talked to people who had their surgery in Australia and have had nothing but problems. I have heard of people in my city that have had the surgery here and nearly died. Then, I have read of people who had their surgery in Mexico and had problems, people in Australia who have had none and people in my city that are going great. It's a crap shoot guys! So don't scare people off whose only hope is in Mexico, help them find the best doctor, be it here or there, and pray that they will have a great experience and a long life.
