Dr. Yarbrough was superb at doing my fills. I am very sad to see him leaving the bariatric center though. I do not know if he will be doing the same line of work in Corvallis or if he is moving onto to another one of his specialties he will be missed.

He is the only doc that I was able to get to fill my band all the way, have me stand up, take a drink, then he slowly released it till the Water trickled down.

That was the last fill I have ever had and that was in October of 2008... 7 months ago almost 8. Absolutely awesome. If he is practicing in Corvallis I will be sure to drive up there.

I just recently read that Corvallis is doing LapBand surgeries. I don't know if your doctor is one of them. I work in Corvallis and know someone who works for the hospital there. I can ask. I went to Portland to have my surgery as it was the closest one to me at the time. I would like to have fills in Corvallis if possible.

Hi Brandy... I got banded in Coos Bay by Dr. Tersigni Sept. 28, 2009. I've only had one fill. It didn't do anything. I live in Eugene and would be able to go to Corvallis more easily than I can go to Coos Bay. Do you know if he is doing fills there? I really like the way you described how he did your fill.

Thanks,

Peggy

Dr. Yarbrough joined the Samaritan Bariatric Program in Corvallis and is doing the same type of work. I've started the program and am hoping to have him do my surgery in spring.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
