Topic: RE: DR Liza Maria Pompa Gonzalez
I LOVED HER! She was awesome and I would go back to her in a heart beat. What great care and what an excellent job she did for me. I was sleeved this past Monday the 24th, and I'm home and very pleased with my experience. Already down 11 lbs. I feel great. Personally think she & Patti helped to make my experience very pleasant. Will be referring a close friend of mine to her.

I belong to the group on yahoo, but I have never been able to make it to a meeting. Maybe someday I will be able to make it if my hubby or mom would watch my son. Its hard to do anything these days without having a baby on my hip. Hopefully I will find the time because I think this would help alot!
Topic: RE: Looking for a surgeon in NM
Im in Santa Fe ad im going to Del Sol. I grew up in El Paso so making the choice to go there was easy. Both myself and my parents are having the surgery done and Dr. Lara has been great so far. Either myself or my mom is on the phone with Becky or Claudita at the office atleast once a week and they have been great. When we first made our 1st appointment and drove down there to meet with them for the consult we asked them if they could fit us in to do the pysch test and talk the the psychiatrist and they did! All three of us! So we did the consult, met the surgeon, took the 300 questions test, talked with the dietician, and met the psych Dr all in one day so that we wouldnt have to keep driving down! That was awesome. Of course we were there for 7 hours that day but it was worth it. They really are great!

Welcome. Good luck on your journey and you have a wonderful support system here anytime you need it. I'm in Rio Rancho myself and moved here 4 years ago from Santa Fe where I lived for 36 years. So if you need something just let me know.

Hi Carol,
I attend the support group and find it interesting and helpful. Judy also told me about it and I am very greatful. I am having my surgery on April 2nd (which is the next meeting at 6:30). We would love to have you at the meetings. It varies from one meeting to another on who attends but most of them are post op patients of the RNY so you would fit in perfectly.
I was the only newbie for a while and this past meeting we had 3 people that came to check it out. It is run by others just like us but they have been traveling this road longer like yourself. Their weight loss varies from 25 pounds to 188 pounds. The meetings are the first and third Wed of the month from 6:30 - 8. Hope to see you there.

Hi Carol,
Sorry to confuse you. San Mateo runs semi parallel to I-25, but then crosses I-25 (and turns into Osuna) just North of Academy. If you are in the northeast heights, you probably would want to take Academy to San Mateo, turn north, and then turn right on the Pan American northbound access road (just before the freeway onramp). Just past the Nativo Hotel, turn right onto Harper and then left into the lot of the second (I think) group of buildings.
I do not go to the support meetings (I know, I should); however, I do know that it is a good group and very supportive. The group originally started, I believe, with patients from Dr. Freeza's practice, but has expanded to include any pre-ops and post-ops in the area. As there are no WLS doctors in New Mexico, it has become the only support group serving the whole area.
I take that back, there is a group of patients from Dr. Blackstone's practice (Scottsdale, AZ) that meets periodically. I cannot remember the dates, but will let you know when I receive another notice of a meeting.
Hope this is helpful.
Judy
Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos and pierced navels?

Hi Orpannie,
I like your name, thank you for the information on meetings here in Abq.
I'm new and don't know where I-25 intersects San Mateo - doesn't it run parrell with I-25 North and South? I know of a Kaseman Presbyterian Hospital off of the I-40 & Wyoming Blvd. on Constitution Is that it?
Who runs this meeting, Plastic Surgeons, Bariatric Doctors?
Thanks for y7our help I'm looking forward to meeting you.
