I'm considering using Dr. Rambaut in Monterey. I've heard only good stuff about him except he's a little more expensive than some of the others. Has anyone had any bad experiences with him? Also, if I use him I'll need after care and fills in the Dallas area. Any suggestions. I need to know what the costs will be for these. Thanks, BCW

Hey BCW. Welcome to LBT! Several here have used this doc and he seems to have a good reputation, if I remeber correctly. They will show up here and give you their opinions, I'm sure.

If you want to find out stuff now, go up to the blue bar and hit Search. Then type in Rumbaut (not Rambaut) and you should find some threads with posts mentioning him.

Oh! Also, go to the Texas Forum and find threads about fill docs near Dallas. I think folks have been having a hard time finding aftercare there, but I'll bet someone has some ideas.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

Thanks Kathy, I'll do that.

I've used 6 Band surgeons (4 in Mexico, 1 in California, 1 in Vegas.) I had to go to Mexico three times and have two ports removed, so I've read nearly every post on these boards for support. After all I've been through, Dr. Rumbault would be my choice if I had to do it all over again. I've never met him, but I"m very impressed with his reputation.

Check with Surgery Center of Richardson about fills. I hear they are doing fills on folks banded elsewhere. I would much rather hear of you going there (where they actually DO banding) than some of the other opportunists who may take your money but don't necessarily know all they need to know about banding. just my 2 cents...

I am schedualed to go to Dr. Rumbuat. I have heard good things. I am wanting to find others who have seen him and hear about their experiences. Does anyone know of after care docs in Kansas City or Nebraska.

Do a search here on his name..but spell it correctly. Rumbaut.
