Posting on the NM site

Hello New Mexico, I am going to plead once more to the WLS people in NM. Please Post on this site regularly. It is such a wonderful resource, that no one is using. Who knows better than others going through WLS (pre and post op) what we feel and might be going through? It also provides a wonderful opportunity to network, build new friendships, and find people nearby that can serve as a support group. I am still in the planning stages of WLS, but I have found the people in NM wonderful sources of information and support. Let us work together to help others just starting to look into WLS find their way, encourage those who are working towards WLS, and support those who have already been through WLS.

Richard, I totally agree with you. I am 7 months post op and I am in the "mirror" stage. You know the stage where I look in the mirror and still feel fat. I could really use a friend who is going through the same things I am. But, I am new in New Mexico and prefer to stay here in the Rio Rancho area, and I guess there is no other people in this area who have had or want to have this surgery. Keep on them about how important this tool is to have.

Hello Sally, There is a wonderful group in Albuquerque that meets twice a month. They also use Yahoo groups to keep in contact online. I would be happy to put you in contact with them if you think you would like to meet with the Albuquerque group. I was a member when I lived there. Otherwise keep posting to the site, I have not had my surgery yet, but I would be happy to help if I can. Richard I

Hi I agree this is a wonderful resource!! It seems harder to find members from NM. I know there are no more surgeons in the state that prefom surgery anymore. I have had a hard time getting surgery, (my ins. has an exclusion and I cannot get financing). But it would be great finding others from this area to talk too!!

Hi, so I figured out how to post! Yippee. It's Barb from Albuquerque. This is going to be a great resource!
