Yes - I've been there before. Are they planning on camping out, or just going for the concert? I had no problems with being there, of course, I was in my early 20's. LOL! Lots of people go and camp there for the concerts, but it was a pretty chill place when I went. Is the adult someone you trust? If so, then I would say yes.

I need a new pcp, so can't help you there, but I go to Legacy Good Sam in Portland, the surgeon's there are Dr Patterson and Dr Halpin, they have an endocrinologist who helps with follow up and has worked with weight loss patients for years and years, his name is Dr Raum.  When are you moving?

Ohsu has a support group for both gastric and lapband and it meets once a month. I think it is a tuesday but I forgot which tuesday.

I had my breast reduction and lift on Monday and am doing great.  I had the drains removed yesterday and of course am very glad they are gone.  I bruise terribley and this was no exception.  I think I like what I see and will be very happy wuith the results.  I will post pics later.  I cannot remember when my boobs were this high and not fallen to my waist.  Shoulder/neck pain gone already and I am in a tube top!  I am looking forward to wearing a nice bra through.  Julia

I go to OHSU (Oregon Health and Science University) in Portland for just about everything.  The RNY surgeons there are Drs. Clifford Deveney and Robert O'Rourke.  They are very experienced surgeons.
