Topic: RE: Rio Rancho/Albuquerque Dr Recommendation
I am actually in Cortez Colorado, but am only a few miles from NM border, I checked in December of 2009 and was not able to find anyone in new mexico at all. I ended up going to Denver and since its like a 8 hour drive, will end up flying there for my post ops. The only ones not in metro denver are Grand junction that I know of. Good luck, Rio Rancho is awesome, my sis lives there and I love to visit that area.

I have BC/BS of NM... took a bit of battle but they did approve my vertical sleeve surgery, however (and that's a big however), that was two years ago and with the economy problems and such I'm sure they have tightened their authorizations. Good luck and don't give up!

I also heard that Medicaid is no longer covering weight loss surgery in New Mexico, due to the budget crisis.

I had United Health Care. And if I understood what I heard recently, Medicaid no longer covers bariatric surgery in NM.

Welcome to ABQ! We transplanted here from California nearly 5 years ago and I really like this city. I had a RNY about 2-1/2 years ago. I started attending the support group that was mentioned here that's held at the church on San Antonio. I had my surgery done in Houston, TX. Again, welcome to NM and write when you can. Kelly
