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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
