Where are my fellow Oregonians?



Recommended Posts

I know there are people who have surgeons in Portland. I think at OHSU?

There are some other threads if you go to the Oregon part of the board. There's a spot somewhere on the main page that goes state by state.

Hi~

I'm a fellow oregonian and live in Aloha. I was banded by Dr. Jay Jan last month. My first fill is scheduled for December 10th. Everything went pretty routine as far as the surgery went. Dr. Jan did find a hiatal hernia which he repaired at the same time. So far I've been very happy with him and most of his staff. I'm glad to see there are several bandsters out there who are from Oregon. :wacko:

It's where your stomach is pushing through your esophigas (probably spelled that wrong). They pull it back and repair it with a few stiches like a hernia. :()

I AM! I grew up in Eugene for most of my life and a few years in Portland. I am currently stationed in Montana, only 2 years left and then back to green Oregon. I visit several times a year and miss it so much! I wish I was getting banded there by a Dr. I somewhat know.

I really recommend Dr. Tersigni. He is way cheaper than anyone else in Oregon for anyone that has to self pay. His clinic just became a center of excellence which is amazing for such a small clinic. When they came to evaluate him, they said he has the lowest complication rate in the Pacific northwest. They were very impressed with him, his staff, his office and how well kept his records are.

Who did you surgery? I met with one from PeaceHealth who was very nice. The name escapes me at the moment.

If it was at peace health it was probably Umbach or Yarbrough. I really like Yarbrough and he is the one that did my surgery. This one is also a center of excellence as well.

Whenever I want a fill I can have one and they don't hassle me. The fills there are totally up to the client... unlike other places.

My aunt used Dr. Tersigni in Coosbay and liked him.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
