:clap2: I have my first fill scheduled for Thursday, 4 weeks post op. I had a great surgeon in Mexico, Roberto Rumbaut, MD, but was REALLY lucky to find a surgeon in Cincinnati who is forward thinking about taking "Mexican" patients, who is INTERESTED in the well-being of his patients and is totally missing the GOD complex most surgeons seem afflicted with!! Actually, he posts on here and on Obesityhelp.com and understands the importance of being available to patients when you need him!!! WOW, this is too cool. He charges $300 for the first fill for "Mexican" patients which includes a consult with a dietitian, but only $150 thereafter. I am amazed and really glad. Seems to me the fills are paramount, and that one needs a surgeon who understands the WHOLE picture. HERE we have one!!

Trace Curry, MD :first:

He accepted me as a patient and scheduled me for 4 weeks after surgery. I think God as blessed us with this man. Every since I had decided this was what I wanted to have done then found out I would have to self pay and then go to a foreign country to have it done then was the worry of a good Doctor here for fills and after care. He contacted me through email and I thank God for him. I haven't met him yet but he and his office have been nothing but nice and helpful with me so far. I agree we're lucky to have him.

He really is good: I found him on the Obesity.com website before I went to Monterrey and he agreed to take me on before he announced he would start taking "mexican" patients. I really like him already and so, four weeks to the day from my surgery I'm going for the fill... this Thursday. He has three boys, plays Piano, Mandolin, banjo among other things and plays in a bluegrass band! He's 39. He has a great career ahead of him. I know he does the RNY and other bariatric surgeries, but personally, I think the band is so much safer, he is WISE to really be going that direction. Good luck!!! I had a great experience in Monterrey with dr Rumbaut.
