Congratulations on having your surgery. I had my surgery 17 months ago in NJ, but am following up with the doctors from Del Sol. My advice to you is to follow the instructions carefully for as long as you can. By sticking to the diet, making sure you get in enough protein and water, and taking your supplements, the weight will come off. We all lose at different rates, so don't be discouraged if it does not fall off right away. I was a slow loser, but I continued to lose steadily until about 3 months ago. Now I am 18 pounds below my goal weight. Once you feel up to it, exercise daily. It really helps. Good luck with your journey.

Topic: RE: Anyone around Farmington Area??
I am Betty's husband. My wife had the DS earlier this year. We live in Farmington. I know of some people that have had different weight loss surgeries in Farmington but I do not know of any support groups for this area. You might want to contact her and look at her home page to see if she is interested or not. I can not tell you for sure.

Just looking for any advice, feedback, etc....on what to expect. I had Dr. Lara from Del Sol in El Paso. He was awesome! HATE the benefiber shakes! Vitamins...yuck! Otherwise seem to be doing ok. I know this journey will be difficult, but I am looking forward to my new healthy life! Thanks in advance for any advice. Melissa

I had medicaid, but now they are not paying for the surgery at this time. I was lucky before the date they stop paying for it.
