More and more of the 58 million morbidly obese people in America are opting for weight loss surgery. Weight loss surgery is gaining popularity as a viable long-term alternative to short-term fad diets. If you are considering weight loss surgery, Dr. Roberto Rumbaut and his team at the Monterrey, Mexico Obesity Surgery Center want you to know that they understand that this is an important decision and they want you to be well informed. Dr. Rumbaut has been a weight loss surgery patient himself. He understands the risks and benefits of weight loss surgery and that is why he offers only the safest, most effective surgical procedures.

During an initial consultation with each potential weight loss surgery patient, whether on the phone, or in person, Dr. Rumbaut's staff will ask about eating habits to help determine which weight loss surgery is right for each individual. For example, if you tend to overeat at just a few meals per day, Dr. Rumbaut will probably recommend the Lap Band surgery, which is a purely restrictive form of weight loss surgery. On the other hand, if you are addicted to sweets or you tend to eat continuously throughout the day, Dr. Rumbaut will most likely suggest a restrictive - malabsorptive form of weight loss surgery, the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery.

As the name implies, restrictive weight loss surgery involves limiting the size of the stomach, in this case with an adjustable gastric band, or lap band. Dr. Rumbaut is a world-renowned expert in lap band weight loss surgery, practicing in Monterrey, Mexico. The benefit of the solely restrictive weight loss surgery is that it does not disrupt your digestive system in any way, and your system continues to absorb all the nutrients that you ingest even though you are eating much less. The restrictive-malaborptive method of weight loss surgery, on the other hand, entails both limiting the size of the stomach and restructuring the intestinal tract in order to minimize the absorption of calories into the body. This extra measure is, at times, necessary to optimize weight loss over time.

For your safety, health and comfort, Dr. Rumbaut performs each weight loss surgery procedure laparoscopically in Monterrey, Mexico at the state-of-the-art bariatric surgery facilities of the distinguished San Jos� Hospital.
