Oregon/Washington Doctors with a reasonable price?



Recommended Posts

I have currently located one doctor in Coos Bay, Dr. Tersigni (Bay Bariatrics) who is reasonable priced.

Does anyone know of any other doctors in Oregon or Washington that only charges $10,000 to $12,000 for the Lap Band? I am not interested in going to Mexico!!!

I live in Newberg which is about 20 minutes from Portland. I am unfortunantly going to be a self pay. I don't mind going to Coos Bay, but If there are any doctors that would preform the surgery for that cost and is closer to me that would be outstanding.

Has anyone negotiated the price with the doctor? If, so, how did you do it who is the best person to talk to..

Jack would be better able to tell you who the band doctors in Portland are. I suggest sending him a PM. I was banded by Dr. Tersigni and highly recommend him and his staff, the only other doctor I know of that is closely priced is Dr. Miranda in Klamath Falls but that is a bit far away for you I imagine.

I just wanted to say Hi! I can't be of much help as I am being banded on Feb. 13th by Emma Patterson and have insurance, but I spend a lot of time in Newberg because I am the "Welcome Wagon" lady!!!! I have a few clients there like Steve Drew who own's Steve's Auto, and Sally Dallas who own's The Newberg Gallery and a few others.

I love Newberg!!

I'm in Portland and was just banded by Dr. Tersigni in November. I really liked him and his staff and so far I think he did a great job. Everything went very very well for me and I have had no problems. I have not had my first fill yet because I have had restriction without one. That being said, I don't enjoy the thought of having to take an entire day out everytime I need a fill. He gives 3 fills with the price and after that, I will probably start going to Dr. Kelly here for my fills so that I won't have to drive so far.

Driving down for surgery wasn't bad. We rented a hotel and spent two nights (the night before and the night after). I thought the drive home would be horrible but it wasn't.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

Dr. Tersigni has submitted all the paperwork to be a center of excellence. I just found out at support group that his office found

out that he has the lowest rate of complications in the state of OR.

I am extremely happy with him and his office staff. Feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions about

him.

I too went to Dr Tersigni - after he was recommended by a family friend. Everything everyone else has said is dead on - he and his staff are excellent, as is the Day Surgery area as well. They are very sensitive to out of town patients and will schedule all appointments for pre-op on one day.

I was at the last support group and Robin(Dr Tersignis' coordinator)let our group know that they just received the award of Center of Excellence. I am very happy with Dr. Tersigni and his awesome crew.

I have already lost 49 lbs and my surgery was 5/30/2008,today is 7/13/2008.:smile2:

      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...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
