That is great! Lots of positive thoughts headed your way for an easy recovery Topic: RE: OHSU Bariatric Support Group - February
It is my goal to be there. I took Christene's "Healing from the Inside Out" class this past fall and am looking forward to her discussion on Mourning Food. I find her to be very insightful. Her class really helped me with making the connection in my head about my emotional eating.
Topic: RE: State Employee with Providence Insurance
I had no infections and the surgeon didn't say about it hanging below a certain point.
Topic: RE: State Employee with Providence Insurance
Awesome! That is great to hear. I have the same insurance and hope I'm only about a month out from surgery. I know I will have a droopy tummy. Did you have to prove history of infection or have it hang below a certain point?

Topic: RE: help in finding the right dr in OR
Hi Dotty,
I'm in Lebanon and am working on getting weight loss surgery. I'm on hold for now because I'm waiting to see if my insurance will cover VSG. I've been going to Oregon Bariatric Center in Springfield. It's at Sacred Heart. It's a quick drive. The one thing this center does that I think is good, but does take 3 weeks is that they make you take 3 weeks of classes (1x per week) to learn how to live after surgery. That part is typically done while waiting for insurance approval though. I am seeing one of their new surgeons, Dr. Jessica Folek, who seems very sharp and up to date on surgeries. Hope you find something that works for you!
