Question:
Am I nuts? No bariatric surgeons in N.M.?

Did I miss the boat or something? I have a friend who is looking for a surgeon in New Mexico and can't find one. I can't imagine that there's no surgeons there who are doing bariatric surgery there. If they're not doing surgery there....how come? Can someone give me the scoop?    — ronascott (posted on January 21, 2005)

If your friend is in eastern NM, she might try Lubbock, TX. It's only an hour or two away and there are a couple of bariatric surgeons in Lubbock.

Your friend needs to look a little harder. (1) Jonathan A. Schoen, M.D--Denver, (2) Dr. Mehrzad Bozorgnia, (3) Dr. Gerald Demarest, (4) Dr. Donald Fry, (5) Dr. Joseph Perera, (6) Dr. Maria Terry. I found all six of these bariatric surgeons listed on this site. Only the first one has put in his information so far. Good luck to your friend.
