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’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
