I, too, had my surgery performed in Monterrey, Mexico, by Dr. Roberto Rumbaut. I had my surgery 4/18/07. The cost for the laproscopic RNY was $14,600. This included the surgery, 2 nights n the hospital, all of the pre-tests, and post care. They put you up in a Hampton Inn, and the cost of that was about $83/night. The airplane ticket from Phoenix was about $450.00. You can read more about Dr. Rumbaut and the experience at http://www.gastricband.com/. The care and service were outstanding. The hospital room was private, and included a pull-out couch in case anyone was coming with me, but I did end up going alone. Dr. Rumbaut is one of the pioneering RNY surgeons, and he and his entire staff made themselves available to all of the patients 24 hours a day. They hooked me up with a company that financed my surgery: I'm still paying that off. As of today I'm down about 128 lbs. from my pre-surgery diet weight. I have access to a nutritionist via email, and the responses are timely and easily understood. There were some small communication problems with the night nursing staff at the hospital, but the doctor's office supplies their patients with English to Spanish translations of the most commonly asked questions by both the nurses and the patients. Transportation between the hospital and the hotel was provided in the cost of the surgery. I was met at the airport by someone holding a sign with my name on it, and that transportation (from the airport, to the doctor's office for pre-tests, and then to the hotel) was also included. Feel free to contact me with any questions, or just to chat :) I would do the surgery there again in a heartbeat. Best of luck! Amy Trickel
