Topic: RE: Salem on track for Center of Excellence
They were hoping 'any day now'. I can hardly stand the wait. If for some freaky reason they don't pass in May, I may end up at OHSU as well, I just hate the idea of the commute.

I thought they became certified in January, sorry
That's why I ended up going up to OSHU. (I started my process in January 2009)

Topic: clothes to give up
I'm moving. Need to unload some clothes I don't need anymore.
size 10 (w/some 12';s, 14's in there, too) I am very tall with loooooong legs ( 35-38 for high heels) and these would suit someone with disproportionately long legs. Some hoodies and dresses too, Yoga pants and tees. Free.

I had my RNY on 12/29/09 at the Salem Hospital with Dr. Boulay. Incredible results,,I'm off of all diabetic meds/insulin now. The Salem Bariatric program is very helpful. You'll be glad you joined with them.

I had brachio last November at OHSU, with Dr. Mueller. The cost was just under $5000. I'm pretty happy with the results. I also consulted with Dr. Havard in Corvallis, but he wanted about $6000.

Topic: RE: Anyone here from Southern Oregon
Dr. Tersigni at Bay Area Bariatrics did my Lap-Band in March. I have been very happy with the care, including a couple post-op telephone calls Robin answered and gave me reassurance and advice. The P.A. there (I forget his name) has been great to work with as well. Good luck no matter what you decide.

Topic: RE: Surgery covered by BC/BS?
The only way to really know is to call the number on the back of your medical card and ask the insurance rep. My BC/BS (not RFP) in Roseburg covered the surgery in March, 2010. There were actually two BC plans and I switched to the one with more liberal policies re: WLS during the open period in December. Sometimes even with restrictions on the policy they will go for it if there are multiple comorbidities and letters, lab work, etc is available to show it would be cheaper to treat the obesity than all the individual problems. I wish you luck. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
