Need Fill Salem Oregon



Recommended Posts

I go to Dr Stephen Tersigni in Coos Bay, OR. I live in Medford, so it's about a 6 hrs round trip trip to him, but he's well worth it. Medicare would only pay for Centers of Excellence and there's only 2 in OR (at least 3 yrs ago there were). Him and 1 in Eugene. Altho Eugene probably be closer to you, huh?

Good luck!

I don't know Kelly Fitzgerald personally, but she does fills in Portland and Eugene. Portland is less than an hour from Salem. She has 20 years experience as a nurse and is now a naturopathic doctor. I go to Legacy Weight Management in Portland. There is also Oregon Weight Loss Surgery. Where did you get surgery at?

I had my surgery back in 2008 and lost a lot of weight while In NY. Alaska wasn't so nice to me and the two doctors that they had there And there was only two refused to see me for fills or otherwise because they didn't do my surgery. So I regained a lot while there. We were there for a year . Now we moved back down to the lower 48 and I have to get this back under control

I have heard some Dr's requiring barium swallows before they will take you on, but I am sure you will find someone. There are plenty of clinics in Oregon.

I have no issue with barium swallow all of my fills have been done via fluoroscopy. In fact I would much rather that to just a blind stick because my port in slightly tilted and it is very difficult for people to access. How I miss my Dr Z

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
