Anyone from the Clovis/Portales area?

I had my LAP/RNY surgery 18 Dec 06 and I was just wondering if anyone from Clovis/Portales looks on here. I have looked on here many times and I never see anyone who is from this area. I also noticed there aren't many posts on this NM message board.

This board is very quiet. I am from Clovis. We have a support group that meets at the Java Loft in Clovis once a month...we call ourselves the Second Chance club. If you are interested I will give your name to our group leader and she can get you on our email list.. I had my surgery with Dr. Syn in Lubbock, Aug 04 and I am at goal. I had hernia repair and TT in July 06, and Just this Dec 15, I had another Hernia repair. All is well, and I'm doing great!! Welcome to the board...I'm really glad I checked it today Beckey

Congrats Beckey!! Sounds like you have done GREAT despite all of the trauma that you have had to go through. Please do pass on my name & email [email protected]. I have heard of the support group, but I have not been. I checked into Dr Syn & the other doc over there in Lubbock, but one was not in BCBS provider network & the other one quit doing the RNY & is only doing Lap Bands. I can't remember which is which, but I would call the one that quit doing RNYs over & over to see if they could get him to change his mind. So, when they wouldn't change their mind, I decided to have my surgery in Dallas. I wish that I could have done it much closer because I didn't have any family that was able to come to support me at the hospital due to work issues. I made it though, but it would have been nice to have family there. Thanks for replying and I am looking forward to hearing from you again. Lisa
