Good Morning

I'm cheryl from new Mexico, and I am scheduled for surgery on Dec 18th. I would love to hear from some of you about what you went through in the beginning, or get to know some of you who are at the same stage I am.

Hi Cheryl, I'm in NM also. I had a date set but cancelled it. Wasn't sure about the suregeon. Who are you using??

I have blue cross and was able to get in with Scottsdale bariatric center in AZ. I have heard others are going to Texas. There really are now really good clinics here, or maybe it the restrictions are getting in the way here. Dr Robin Blackstone is very experienced. There website is scottsdalebariatric.com.

I did all my stuff from here, with the exception of the prelimary visit (they scheduled a 5 hour visit with all the docs on one day) and will go out for a week for pre-op, pre op class surgery and post op class in December

Good Luck with finding someone, and keep in touch!

I live on the Eastern side of NM and am going to Dr. Marsden in the DFW area. He is great and several of my friends have used him and swear by him. They say he is an excellent dr. and has great bed side manner.

I think choosing the dr that is right for you is crucial.

I need to find a doctor that does revisions. I had stomach stapling 20 yrs ago and am looking for a surgeon that is familiar with revisions. Thanks for the name of your doc.
