"Dr. Rumbaut Rocks!
I am not going to write about Dr. Rumbaut's credentials or how he is so highly regarded by his peers and patients in the WLS community. He rocks, but he's human.
Dr. Rumbaut and his team were everything personally and professionally that I expected, and I had very high expectations!
He and his staff in Monterrey are a lot of fun, very professional and easy to work with. You're not just another patient or number and it shows. When you love what you do, it shows.
As I am writing this, I am 4 weeks post-op so I can only comment on the aftercare up to this point. The care after surgery was very good. My pain was kept under control and I had additional pain due to a 3cm abdominal hernia. Dr. Rumbaut recommended to have it repaired once I loose my weight to ensure that it will hold and heal easier. I was not the "normal" patient, and was glad that Dr. Rumbaut was my surgeon. The long distance aftercare is what I will be dealing with now and will add to this question later when I can comment with experience.
Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Rumbaut to anyone, but especially to those that are self pay and rest assured that you are going to one of the best lap band dr's in the world! Dr. Rumbaut works out of a very modern hospital in Monterrey. My hospital room was nicer than any U.S. hospital that I have been in and I wasn't in one of Dr. Rumbaut's suites!
Dr. Rumbaut is a very skilled and competent lap surgeon and it's an added plus that he has such a great personality. But then, his entire staff ROCKS!
