I live in CT and am having surgery with Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey, Mexico? Has anyone had any experiences, both good or bad, with Dr. Rumbaut and what have you done if problems have occurred if you live in the States and leave Mexico? I am self-pay...

I am having lap band surgery on 3/25 and have just started reading about everything that can go wrong so I am trying to learn everything I can about both the good things and the bad things. What causes slipping? What causes erosion? What about port flipping? Thanks for your help!!! Anything will be appreciated.

I am having lap band surgery on 3/25. I live in CT but am having it in Mexico where my niece did 9 years ago. It was a very successful experience for her but I am starting to get a little freaked out because I am reading about everything that could go wrong. I am also getting a lot of heat from my family about going to Mexico but cost was a factor because this is self-pay. I am just getting very confused and nervous for the first time. I have been researching this so much I feel like I could perform the surgery myself but I guess between reading about what could go wrong and the pressure from my family, it is really bringing me down. Any advice anyone can give or any positive experiences that people have had going out of the country for this procedure would be helpful. I am also concerned about having a problem after the surgery, having to have it taken care of here, etc. My mind is just all over the place. Any help would be appreciated --
