If you do a "search" on LBT for Dr. Rumbaut you will find that not one person has anything negative to say about him. He's an amazing surgeon, a wonderful man, and I would recommend him to anyone.

As far as complications go, the average rate of complications with lap band surgery is 1 - 3%. Dr. Rumbaut has a fewer than 1% rate of complication.

I have had some problem with reflux - not actual acid backing up but pressure/pain at my sternum. I am taking Nexium now and the problem is completely resolved. If that's the worst of it, I can handle it.

Best wishes for your surgery and your weight loss journey.

I had surgery last thursday with Dr. Rumbaut and there were 6 other women there doing the same. I am very very pleased with him and his staff they are wonderful. Some language issues with the nurses but other than that everything went extremely well. As far as I could tell with everyone else including myself, we were all very very pleased.

He is an amazing surgeon and cares for his patients a great deal.

I was up and around the same day as surgery and was sleeping on my side the 2 days out. A bit sore still on port side but no major concerns. (knock on wood)

I do beleive you have made a wonderful choice with him and if you have any questions please let me know I'll do my best to help.

Ditto for what these ladies have said. I was banded on 8-17 and have only wonderful things to say about him and his staff. Best of luck to you and I'm sure you will not regret your selection!

I was banded by him on August 8th and just had my first fill in NY on Monday. The doctor I saw spoke very highly of Dr. Rumbaut and based on the xrays & flouro said the band was perfectly placed.

You made the right choice!

Jackye,

Dr. Rumbault and his staff are great... I think I have to pay a little more for my fills here in Central Florida because of being banded in Mexico but I feel it was worth it to be banded by one of the best there is.

I love Dr. Rumbaut, and his staff is great. I have had several questions since returning to the states and they are always glad to help. I had the best care by the nurses at the hospital. I have never seen such a clean hospital before. I would do it again.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
