Salem/Mcminnville Oregon?

Hi,

I am from Salem, OR but I am getting my sleeve surgery done in Mcminnville in June/July. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who is near this area or have gotten it done by Dr. Higa? I am excited and would love to share experiences with someone else!

I didn't realize the hospital in Mac had a support group. I had surgery 7/1/15 which was revision from band to sleeve. Surgery was done at Legacy Good Sam in Portland but hard to get back to in the evening from the Forest Grove area. I am gonna have to check out the support group dates and times.

How are you all doing after surgery?

Hi Jess!

I'm sorry you are struggling. I'm a year out and I'm struggling right now too.

I would love to create a support group in the Salem area. Unfortunately the one for the Salem Hospital is restricted to just those members. Would you like to meet up sometime soon?
