Hello! My surgeon is Dr. Ortiz in TJ. I suppose he will be my follow up dr to as no one local will touch me with a ten foot poll.

Glad to know there are other Oregon's out there!

There is an Oregon thread somewhere. I thought on the main board it's broken down into states. Am I incorrect?

I love my dr. and I love my band!

I'm new at signing up for this site. Did you find doc in Portland to work with you? I had my band done in Mex too- haven't had first fill yet?

I had my band done in Mex too, why won't anyone in Portland do our fills?? I am newly banded and haven't needed first fill yet, but plan on it here in Portland. Am i mistaken?

Kelly Fitzpatrick in Portland and Eugene will do fills. So will Dr. Tersingi but that's a long drive for you.

Just banded 3/3/26 in Portland!

Monterrey where did you go to get the band done in Portland? I am going to the seminar at OHSU to start the process there but have not seen anyone so far on these forums that has used OHSU. Anyone out there that that has used OHSU?

I keep finding myself looking for comments from you guys; this could get to be very helpful to reach out to besides food. I'm also a "recovering" person and just switched my addiction to food so this feels like a good support tool. thanks, sufina:tt2:

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
