Dr Borgenson has been my primary doc for about 8 years now. He's fantastic!
Topic: RE: Slowly but Surely
You can fight the insurance and go to the doctors in El Paso if you want to. I live in ALbuquerque and did not want to go to Lubbock, I had Presbyterian Health Plan from work and demanded that I be allowed to go to Del Sol in El Paso.
I wrote them a letter telling them it would be better for me cause my family is there and it would be better financially cause I could drive there and back in a day rather than having to fly or driver a much longer distance.
Good luck to you!
Topic: Plastic Surgeon Help
Ok, there is someone out there that used to go to the support group that I went to in ABQ that has United Healthcare and was able to get them to pay for the plastic surgery. I need some information on this if you can help.
Topic: Slowly but Surely
Ok, NM presbyterian Salud will cover the surgery.
I am waiting on the packet, and it is a three step process, but at least it is in motion.
I talked to the hospital in El Paso, they said that presbyterian salud was sending people to Lubbock.
Spoke with two places in Lubbock, Dr Frezza's office, and Dr. Syns office, but not much more can be done until the insurance kicks in.
At least progress is being made, which is alot more than I could say this time last year.

Topic: RE: Hit a brick wall
Hello again, long time no seeee....
I am waiting for the presbyterian salud to go through. They will pay for the surgery!
They send people from NM to Lubbock Tx.
I am in Las Cruces, so it is a bit of a drive, but it will all be worth it.
Wish me luck, looks like a light at the end of the tunnel

Hi Sally,
I hope you're move went well. I have a great physician in Rio Rancho who has been supportive of me throughout my WLS process. I am two years post-op. His name is William Borgeson and he is at the Rio Rancho Presbyterian clinic. His office phone number is 462-6000.
If you have any other questions, etc. or just need someone to talk to, please e-mail me back and I'll PM you my personal information.

Topic: RE: Looking for fill doctor in ABQ area.
I am not aware of any at this point, but my endocrinologist mentioned to me that Presbyterian was looking into getting a WLS clinic here in the near future. They are still debating. I see a doc in Lubbock TX (5 hours from ABQ). -Barb
Topic: PLEASE PRAY FOR MY GRANDPA
Today is a bad day. I have been crying so much that It took me a long time to get signed onto the net. I need to turn to you all again, but now it is for my Grandpa.
My Grandpa Earl is my maturnal Grandfather. He is 84 years old. He and my Nana raised me part of my life and I am very close to them. They recently just left my town to make their last trip to Las Vegas. My Grandpa had fallen on hard cement and broke his hip I am told. He has to have surgery. He is at a hospital in Las Vegas called Mountain View Hospital. My Grandpa's PCP here in Chelan had told him a few months back that he has a leaking heart valve and if there were to do surgery that it my be too much for him and he may not make it. I am so very worried that I may lose my Grandpa. I don't even have money to go be with him. I fear I may not see him again. I am trying to stay positive. I just can't stop crying about him. He will have to stay in a convalescent hospital for 6-8 weeks. He is so far away from home. All I can do is pray my heart out and turn to everyone at OH for theirs prayers.
My Nana (grandmother) was stepping out of the elevator at the hospital and stubbed her bad toe bad enough that now she is in the emergency room there getting checked out.
PLEASE, PLEASE pray for them.
I hope many people are reading this. Please send to others you know, churches, anyone. We need your prayers.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
