This meeting is patient led, open to all pre-ops, post-ops, and their support people - all surgeries, all surgeons.

Hey Angie-
What hospital did you have the surgery at?  Did you have a choice?  Did you know what kind of surgery you wanted (RNY), did they try and change your mind or have you consider a Lap Band? When you had dr apts did you see Patterson - or one of the other dr's or ? Did you feel rushed? How long did you stay in the hospital?  How many times did you see the dr before and then after the surgery?  Sorry to have all these questions - I am pretty sure I want to have her do the surgery - but it is Great to get someone's perspective who has already gone thru it -  Thanks for helping me make the right decision :)  How long did it take from start to finish?

   My surgery was done by Dr. Patterson back in April and I highly recommend her!  She's very straight forward, and you can tell that she really cares about her patients.  The support staff has been very good.  The only problem I had was with the girl who takes care of getting the insurance approvals, she kind of brushed my file under the rug (so to speak) and I ended up waiting several weeks longer than neccesary to get approved because she wasn't following through.  That was the only thing that I have had that left a bad impression though.  Everyone else has been great and I completely trust Dr. Patterson.

Thank you, I think it went very well. I appreciated everyone that stayed.
Glad you enjoyed it.

I had my surgery done by Dr Yarborough at the OBC at Peace Health, he has move to Corvallis. He was great, he has a great bedside manner. The OBC now has 2 new providers and are looking for a third. My best friend is having her surgery on Monday with the new male provider. She just met him the other day and really liked him. She is also going to have her mother have surgery hopefully this spring in the same office. Support staff is good if you are proactive. If you do not ask questions or for help with something you may not get the attention needed. Surgically great. I work in the medical field and had done alot of research prior to choosing a procedure, I think that is the wise thing to do.I am so glad that I chose to save myself from the death that obesity would give me. Call OBC and see what you think. Good luck.
