Has not weighed myself since 1/2010. Letting my clothes gauge my progress instead.
I realize that the 24th has come and gone, but will there be another support group meeting in the future? I just moved to Portland from Washington state and am looking for a WLS support group (I had RNY in February of last year). Any ideas?
Thanks so much!

I have had several surgeries at OHSU and had both good and bad service. I think that can happen at any hospital. My RNY care was excellent. If at any time you are at OHSU and getting poor service call or have someone call Patient Services. As I mentioned I work for OHSU and so does my husband and we have used their services twice in situations where we did not feel we were getting the service we deserved. They were very helpful.

I had gastric bypass eleven years ago anfd I feel great! Dt. Tersigni at Bay Bariatrics has done wight loss surgery on nine of my family members. Bay Bariatrics is "A Center of Excellence" and the surgeon has thirteen years of experience. He is awesome and the hopsital is fabulous.
Best of Luck with your choice!

Glad to "see" everyone on here.
I just had Lap Band on the 16th at Bay Area in Coos Bay. Has anyone been there for surgery? Any problems or concerns? My surgery was great, and I feel fine just five days out....
Thanks
Brad
