Looking for a buddy who's done it in Mexico



Recommended Posts

Hi there:

I am looking for a buddy who's had their Lap Band surgery done in Mexico. I found a very experienced doctor in Monterrey Mexico; Dr. Rumbaut who fits the bill so far.

I'm still in the beginning research stage but getting more confident about the decision every day. I really could use someone to share their experience with me and possibly a strong shoulder.

I went to Dr. Kuri at hospital Angeles at the end of May this year. My husband and my parents were also banded then as well. We had a great, hastle free experience (except for the VERY HARD beds at the hotel) and would do it the same again if we had to. If you would like to chat I would love to help out!

I went to Dr. Naketa in Juarez, its right across the border and you fly into El Paso.

I think you need to decide which gateway city is the most conveinent and which price and doctor you like and weigh all the factors. Im in Texas, so El Paso was my choice. You can also go thru Larado, but I had heard too many bad things about that city and drugs and the hospital was a couple of hours over the border, so I refused to consider that gateway city. tons of good choices.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
