Topic: RE: Recommended Surgeon in Oregon?
Dr. Yarborough left the Oregon Bariatric Center. He was replaced by two surgeons -- the one who did mine is Jessica Folek. She is excellent and has had superb training. I would highly recommend her.

I am seeing Dr. Patterson at OWLS. She seems very competent and experienced with revisions. I just started the three months supervised dieting, and iI see Dr. Raum to get a new diet tomorrow. If all goes as planned, I will have my VBG revised to a bypass in November.

Topic: RE: Surgeon in Oregon Doing VSG/Sleeves?
I believe Dr. Cagle with Pacific Surgical in Vancouver is doing them now. Go to swmedicalcenter.com and look at the program under bariatric weight loss. They have a very good program and I believe are a center of excellence.

Go Beavers!
She posted last winter that she had her panni covered by insurance, and I believe she and I have the same coverage. I would like to be able to ask her, but I don't have contact info for her, and she hasn't posted in several months. If you have her contact info, and could pass along my request to her, I would be grateful! I sent her a message via the message utility on here, but unless she logs on, she won't see that she has a message.
