:asl: Go easy on the mod guys!! If you do some checking - all of that particular user's posts are almost identical and if you find their website - she works for them!!!

So... Thanks to the mod for saying something - everytime I see one of Aracely's posts - I'm annoyed because I know she's marketing for them.

Do you homework people!! And, if you're sharing personal experiences share away - if you're marketing - go away :uwelcome:

Hi

happy and hopeful I am new to the site and was thinking about going to monterrey mexico for my surgery. But like you am scared about the whole mexico thing.I hear nothing but good things about DR RUMABUT but have not talked to anyone who actually saw him. Can you tell me anything else about you experince? How much weight have you lost? Where do you get you fills? where are you from? I am writing from san antonio texas

There is not a problem advertising for a doctor who you had experience with, but there is a problem with EMPLOYEES of those doctors who advertise. Aracely is an assistant to the doctor he was speaking of. There IS a difference there. Are you going to trust someone who is just trying to persuade you to come to HIS clinic? Think about it.

I'm rather unhappy with this admonishment since I'm very interested in various doctors and the services they offer. I certainly prefer to hear from people who have had experience with these doctors, or who have found information that I haven't found. Is there a site where people can discuss the merits of various doctors without remonstrations?

I know. I checked that website and it was not a lapband site. So I'm not as naive as I was. But thanks.

I paid 9,000.00 for mine with the cost of airfare to get it done in ROME ITALY. The European lapband has the most sucess rate. My doctor is bi-ligual and is great. The only thing I had to do is get a psych evalution before surgery. The team in ROME is outstanding and they send patients at the PRIVATE AMERICAN HOSPITAL in ROME......I travel a lot but getting fills aren't a problem. I have lost 110 pounds and in 3 yrs. I have also did some plastic surgery TT, and next week a Lipo job on my thighs and hips because that fat is stubborn....WISH ME LUCK...If anyone can give me any do's or don't in lipo let me know.....THe TT cost was 5,000.00 and the extreme lipo will be 4.000 .......the flight is also included.

Hi noccobella,

Which band did you get? Just curious.

Thanks,

I thought I just responded to this, but I'll try again. At the time of the original post, I was still recovering from surgery, so I guess I wasn't very vigilant.

... Monterrey is a very rich city. Almost everyone we saw were businessmen (population is much more "Spanish-Mexican" than "Indian Mexican).

...My ONLY complaint was ONE nurse (out of many) who had very poor English skills. Everyone else spoke fluent english.

...I'm a Harvard educated lawyer from NYC ...

Hmmm. And I would have guessed Bob Jones University.

:::just Indian enough to have collected on a ratified but ignored treaty. And one other thing for any less visible racists out there...in case you, too, don't like Mexicans (almost all of whom have Indian blood unless they are simply Spanish immigrants to Mexico, which would make them...you know...SPANIARDS)...Rumbaut is not a native Mexican. He was born in Venezuela of Cuban parents and he went to junior high in Ohio. Then again...the name "Ohio" comes from an from an Iroquoian word meaning “great river.” Damned indians, they're just everywhere.:::

I am considering Dr. G. Sanchez Vidrio in Tijuana, Mexico. I haven't seen his name on this site at all. I researched a bunch and I am getting nervous about not seeing his name mentioned!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
