I'm Getting Banded June 7th by Dr. Rumbaut!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!

I just found this wonderful website! I've been searching all over Yahoo, but I really like what I've seen so far here.

I am getting my lapband on Tuesday in Monterrey, Mexico with Dr. Roberto Rumbaut. I'm a little nervous and a little scared, but I'm going for it!

I will leave on Monday morning with my hubby. Has anyone had the experience with Dr. Rumbaut? I'm a self-pay lady; my insurance would rather pay for my doctors, cardiologist, endocrinologist, orthopedic surgeon and a bag-full of pills and procedures than pay for my "obesity-related" surgery. Go figure!

I think I'm prepared. I've read so much literature on this type of procedure that at least I feel prepared. I know this isn't a magic bullet, but after trying everything (and I do mean everything) else, this is my last hope.

Please keep me in your prayers next week.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
