In 2000 I was hitting the 300 pound mark and was desperate. No diet or exercise plan worked for very long. I had heard of and even considered the gastric bypass operation. And then a doctor recommended my looking into the gastric band procedure with Dr. Rumbaut. I met with Dr. Rumbaut and after careful consideration opted for the gastic band surgery. I was up and around the hospital within the first 24 hours and was back at work in a week! Four years later I have kept off the 150 pounds and am in better health then when I was 30. Not only do I look better, but my attitude towards life has improved, I am more productive and get along better with my family. When asked if I have had any regrets about the operation, my answer is "Yes, my regret is that I didn´t do it sooner!".
