Hello New Mexico
I just arrived from Atlanta Georgia and looking for some friends who have had the RNY. My surgery was on March 25, 2010. I have read some of the post and see they do not preform surgery out in New Mexico. Why is that?? Anyways I would love to join a support group or meet with some folks who had the surgery. I am in Albuquerque.

We meet the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month at Grace Church (intersection of San Antonio/Louisiana) at 6:30 p.m.  If you are interested in receiving a newsletter, please PM me and I'll add you to our email list.

And yes, we are meeting this Wednesday, May 19!  Hope to see you there!

That would be awesome lady!! I'm sooo very excited for you!!

He is a cutie isn't he!  :o)

Actually, my surgeon was Dr. Lara (I can't figure out how to change it on OH!).  I went through Las Palmas, not Del Sol.  My experience has been great!  Initially, it was a little frustrating trying to get insurance approval, etc..  But, once that was done, everything after that was pretty easy.  I am over a year out and have seen Dr. Lara several times.  Luckily, I have had zero complications.  Right now, my D level is low, so working on that. 

There are quite a few people in our group that either had Acosta or Lara as their surgeon.  I encourage you to attend as everyone is very willing to share their experience.  Also, there are many new people and several that are 2 or more years out, so the range of experience is great!

Hope to see you there.  If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me!
