Looking for Oregon supporters. Any out there?

Oregon, here! VSG July 2012.

Portland... Don't have a date yet

Good luck TerriBellI look forward to hearing updates!

Terri. You will live this journey. Keep us posted:-)

I'm in Portland. Where r u?

I'm in long beach wash now.

OHSU is doing it. Patterson is too expensive, and I know too many people who had issues from her.

HI. I am in the Portland area. Sleeved on 12/16 with Patterson. I would love more local sleeve friends! !!

Is there a support group? I want to talk to people at various post-op stages. I'm so nervous about this. How long are you off work? How does it feel 12 days out?

Hi Terri. I know legacy has support groups in person. I have been feeling great !! None of the minor complications that I expected. I had surgery on 12/16. I popped a stitch today which is painful but other than that no real pain.

I know they have one, but I can't find any info regarding time/day, etc. where do I find that?

Terri. I have had no issues with dr Patterson. Been a great success. Life is good!

I love Emma Patterson. She saved my life. I've had VSG then three months later, a hernia repair that could not be done during the sleeve. I did not care for one of her PAs but that person is gone now. I have great experiences with all of her other staff. I also get along well with Dr Raum.
