I just had my first fill yesterday, and will be moving to El Paso in a week. So if anyone knows a good Fill dr. in el paso, please advise. I may need another fill in about 2 months.

Thanks!

Check this site http://www.delsolmedicalcenter.com/service_category/bariatric-weight-loss-surgery They also have a westside hospital called Las Palmas.

I live in Albuquerque NM and started my lapband journey with Del Sol located in El Paso. Shortly after I found out that a Bariatric clinic existed in Albuquerque and at the same hospital my insurance allows and had it done locally. I attended Del Sol's WL seminar and met 2 of their doctors. It was all a very positive experience. Hope this helps.

I am glad that you have had better luck with Dr. Clapp than I have. I moved to El Paso from Little Rock, AR, and went to him and was not at all happy with him. He was very degrading and told me that he would never have done the surgery on me and that I was not going to be successful. At the time, I had lost 87 lbs and have now lost 116 lbs so far, I think that is pretty successful. I am still looking for a fill doctor in the area, or even as far as Albuquerque, NM if anyone knows of anyone besides Dr. Clapp.

Terri,

The Bariatric clinic is with Lovelace Westside Hospital. 2 bariatric surgeons reside there, Dr. Lilibeth Sanchez and Dr. Adam Smith. Dr. Sanchez is local and Dr. Smith is out of Texas and comes in to perform surgeries. My doctor is Dr. Sanchez and she is awesome! The staff is very friendly and supportive. Fills are done under floroscope. The phone number to that clinic is (505) 727-2300.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
