Hi I'm Brenda and I'm from Farmington NM. I will be banded on December 22, 2008 in El Paso, TX with Dr. Jorge Acosta at Del Sol Bariatric Center. I'm excited but it little nervous too.

congrats on your decision, how did you pick your surgeon?

Well, my insurance company said that Del Sol was the only one in my network that did the lap band. Once I contacted them and made the appointment they put me with Dr. Acosta. I believe there are two at this center, him and Dr. Lara.

Congrats on the band date! I'm in albuquerque, but I will be going to Pheonix for surgery on Dec 18th. I'm nervous and excited all at once

Hi Brenda,

I am in Aztec-have been banded for over 2 1/2 years now, if you have any questions let me know and I can PM you a phone #!

Good Luck! There are getting to be quite a few of us in the area, so maybe someday we can actually get a support group going!!

that would be great...go ahead and send your number pm. I would have done it but I couldn't figure it out. I'm not on here enough to get my way around fast. Sorry.
