Just banded 3/3/26 in Portland!

Hello! My surgeon is Dr. Ortiz in TJ. I suppose he will be my follow up dr to as no one local will touch me with a ten foot poll.

Glad to know there are other Oregon's out there!

There is an Oregon thread somewhere. I thought on the main board it's broken down into states. Am I incorrect?

I love my dr. and I love my band!

See there are a few of us! Hello everyone!!! How are you all doing?

Me, counting down the last week of liquids (so hungry:piggy:) I can't wait for solids.

Getting ready to start an excersise program - Goal: 20 hours cardio in April.

I'm new at signing up for this site. Did you find doc in Portland to work with you? I had my band done in Mex too- haven't had first fill yet?

I had my band done in Mex too, why won't anyone in Portland do our fills?? I am newly banded and haven't needed first fill yet, but plan on it here in Portland. Am i mistaken?

Kelly Fitzpatrick in Portland and Eugene will do fills. So will Dr. Tersingi but that's a long drive for you.

Monterrey where did you go to get the band done in Portland? I am going to the seminar at OHSU to start the process there but have not seen anyone so far on these forums that has used OHSU. Anyone out there that that has used OHSU?

Hi, I'm Portland here; go to Dr. Ortiz 5/7 and have appt. with Dr. Fitzgerald here for 1st fill end of may...going to dr pattersons seminar 4/15 at montgomery park....comments from any portlanders?sufina

I keep finding myself looking for comments from you guys; this could get to be very helpful to reach out to besides food. I'm also a "recovering" person and just switched my addiction to food so this feels like a good support tool. thanks, sufina:tt2:

Coos Bay bander. I had my band 12/11/06 by Dr. Tersigni and I just love the doc and the band.

Hey you were banded about 2 weeks before me by our doctor. You should come to support group. I love it!

hi everyone; I'm counting the days til my banding (5/7 in Tijuana, Mx), getting some supplies, reading up on your comments and feeling, oh so hopeful at the prospects. Remember, I'm hoping to connect up with any of you Oregonians as support system. thanks, sufina of portland.
