Happy to meet you in Oregon

I didn't even know there was an Oregon forum. I saw a question about it on another forum.
 Glad I found it.

I had the band for two years and 4 months but had it removed and revised to a sleeve in April of 09.
so I am coming up on two years with the sleeve too. WLS has  been the very best thing I have ever done in my life.

I love Oregon but I would like it if summers on the coast were warmer. I do visit friends in Portland a lot in the summer to get away from the windy coast.

Hope to be a regular here now that I found the Oregon board!

Hi! Saw your post on the other board! I love the coast, but yeah, it'd be nice if they were a bit warmer! Although somedays we run to the coast to escape hot weather here so it's kind of a nice refresher! lol. Not to mention it's better weather there for our kite flying!

Hello
 I live in Hillsboro, OR. I go to the coast to get away from the city. I have not had the surgery yet but when I do I will be getting banded because my insurance will only pay for Lap Band or Bypass and my endocrinologist has suggested Lap Band to my surgeon. It is nice to see there are people here active in the Oregon forum.  Hopefully we can get more people to regular here in the Oregon forum.

We used to be very active on this board.  Lots of us in the valley, from Portland to Roseburg had surgery back in 2006 and 2007.  Since about 2008, things have really dropped off here.  We used to even get together for little gatherings.  I miss those days.

That would be cool to have an Oregon gathering. i am all for it.

Where would be the best place to have it? We could do something this summer!
