That seemed a little snarky since people on here were talking about having their surgeries at ohsu.... I am glad you are happy with your surgeon and results but that doesn't make theirs any less adequate.

Everyone should believe their surgeon is the best. My surgeon is an upper abdominal specialist, who has been doing this procedure years before it was being used for weight loss. That gave me a lot of confidence.

I agree but to say I would never use a doctor at ohsu isn't exactly necessary when speaking of your confidence in your own surgeon. Especially since so many here have used a surgeon at ohsu and are happy with them. It's ok to be confident with your surgeon and team I just don't see the need to belittle anyone else's. Just because they are "less expensive" doesn't mean they are inadequate at performing the same procedure. The same goes for being more expensive.. Doesn't necessarily mean they are any better.

I am in Portland. My surgery date is 14, March at OHSU with dr Clifford Deveney.

I had Dr. Deveney as well. He's extremely nice, and I found him to be very straightforward and no nonsense during my process.

I have actually had a very good rapport with everyone on the team at OHSU and I'm extremely happy with their care.

I hope everything went well for you, as I see your surgery was yesterday! Keep us posted!

Hi I am new here and live in Aloha Oregon. My roux en y is schedule for June 10th with Dr. Mattar at OHSU. I am so excited to have my surgery. I need to lose about 75 pounds and this will get rid of my insulin dependant diabetes. No more 4 shots a day in my stomach. That alone makes this worth it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
