I'm going to Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey, MX.
It seems legit, since he worked for Inamed and offers you an Inamed card with an ID# for your band. The package is $10,600.
You live out by longbeach?

I went to UWMC for my band...fairly new program, longer history with by-pass, but on my insurance plan, so that made the choice a little easier.
I am 3 months post-op, down 41 lbs since surgery, 54 pounds total, and couldn't be happier!
Great to know there are so many WA and NW folks here!

I too am being banded at UWMC. I think it will be late September/early October. They seem to have a great staff - I am getting anxious!!! | |
