I haven't had them but I know two people who went to Dr Zegzula at Good Sam. They both love him.

Topic: Plastics in Oregon?
Has anybody had any plastics done in Oregon?
can anyone tell me an average price of a body lift, Tummy tuck, Breast augmentation, and brachioplasty (with all fees included)?
I'm per-op I'm just trying to prepare financially, I'm not sure I'll ever be able to afford it but I was hoping to fix the worst part at least....I have good credit but we are preparing to buy a house...

Topic: Salem on track for Center of Excellence
My insurance requires a center of excellence, so I have been waiting, not very patiently for Salem to get it done. They will have their inspection in May and expect to be Certified in June.
I don't know about anyone else, but I can hardly stand the wait. My sister had her surgery in early March and I am so jealous I can hardly stand it.

She recommended both programs in Portland as she works for OHSU and is friends with the department head at Legacy. She felt that they both did good work and were both Centers of Excellence. I would recommend attending both seminars, I did. Then chose the program that you feel more comfortable with. I went with OHSU because I both work for them and all my medical records are at OHSU. 
Just before my surgery I got a new primary for similar reasons to yours. I chose Dr. Heather Baskin’s at OHSU. She is awesome and cannot recommend her highly enough. I do pay an extra amount of money to her for this service but it is well worth the money. I have constant access to her via phone or email, she contacts me directly not an assistant or nurse, she called me while I was in the hospital to confirm everything is going well. I only see her or her 1 nurse. The specific program is called Life Choice, http://www.ohsu.edu/xd/health/services/women/services/intern al-medicine/index.cfm

Topic: Article about sugars by Mercola

This is a long article but it really helps to explain sugars and the metabolic effects. I purchase my vitamin D spray from Mercola and find a lot of his information very helpful.

Hello everyone,
This is my first time joining a forum for anything. I just felt this was a good place to start my journy into the world of WLS. I am here to seek INFO about insurance, doctors, WLS types. I have done research on my own but feel like I am chasing my tail.
I currently have an insurance that I can pick my own doctor through. I do not have a Primary doctor yet. See I kinda have this fear about doctors. I have had SO MANY bad experience with them because of my weight. I want to pick on that will listen and help me get aproved for WLS. How does one do this.
I am Living in Hillsboro Or. so if anyone has any sugestions on a Primary Md that would be great.
Any info on WLS is welcomed.
Thanks lots!
