New in Pueblo, Colorado

Hi Everyone.... My name is Fran and I am 52 years old and had Open RNY done in Dallas, TX on 10/10/03 and so far am down 165+ pounds from 373 that I weighed the day of surgery.... I am new to the state of Colorado and to Pueblo, and have no idea where to even begin looking for a bariatric surgeon/doctor who does aftercare here.....I have an incisional hernia that is bothering me and causing me to dump everyday....so I think I need to see someone about this and want to thank everyone in advance for any help or resources they can give me...Are there any support groups in this area where I can meet others who have been through WLS? Feel free to email me at [email protected] and give me some much needed advice and also am looking for anyone who sells the protein powders as I like drinking one a day to keep my protein up....thanks for your help and am hoping to meet some fellow losers soon!
