Hi Patsy, The next meeting will be in August, the group decided to take July off to allow for the holiday and summer travel.  Keep watching the state board for posts from kelpower she leads the group.  Best of luck on your appointment with Dr. Appelbaum.

Hello nmthin, I live in Elephant Butte and have requested an appointment with Dr Applebaum.  How long did this take for you to get into see him.  I was referred by my DR.  Anything I should know?  How long did the process from first appointment to surgery?  I'm almost afraid to ask.  I think I'll let him choose the type of surgery.  I see you have only had your surgery a shortd time ago.  Hope everything is going well for you.  Thank You for any information you might send.  patsy

Hi there, I go to Dr Alyson Thal at Corrales Family Practice. She is wonderful, usually a long wait, you will get very familiar with the waiting room, but she is so personal and great that you forget about all that once you are called back for the visit. She can even do lap fills, if your interested. She is currently covering over 25 wls patients and I am a recent New patient so I know she is taking new patients.

Hi Amber, Hope things are going well, has your Dad had his surgery yet. How is your Mom doing? Any word yet on yours? I'm going to post flyers out and about in Santa Fe area doctor's offices. I work with many docs here and some are already having their patients call me. Which is fine by me. I went to Lubbock at Covenant Hospital with Dr. Syn. I really like Dr. Syn, he is really good.

I just posted some new recipes on my blog from a deck of  "one pot recipe" cards I found at my local bookstore.  I hope you enjoy them. http://luvsexytrstno1.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-pot-cooking.h tml
