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!

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?

Just banded 3/3/26 in Portland!

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?

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:

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
