She's at Legacy in Portland.  I had my surgery at OHSU, so I don't know her.  If you google her, you'll find some doctor ratings, etc.  That may be helpful to you, maybe not.  Unfortunately, our Oregon board is not very active any more, so it may be hard to get a reply here.  Try the main forum or the forum for the particular surgery you want to have.

I love them too!  Has anyone frozen them like ice cream?  Or heated the chocolate for cocoa with a protein kick?  I'm curious but not daring...

Oops a little late to answer your question.  I wore pajamas - they do watch you all night, so I wanted to be as modest as possible.  Hope it all went well for you!

Good ticker!  I'll bet you feel like your food is trying to find its way through a snake.  

i actually had quite a chain of events.  I fell over backwards (I tripped on the weedwhacker cord) and landed with my tailbone on the corner of my lawnmower engine about three months before I had my RNY -- fell at the end of May, right before Memorial Day, and then had my RNY on July 24, 2007.  I ruptured 3 disks in my back when I fell, but I was getting by with physical therapy, etc., till I had my surgery.  Then, when I had the gastric bypass, they put me in some weird bed that was actually intended for coma patients, and it kept trying to turn me over.  The back pain was awful.  I had the RNY laprascopically, but I finally needed to have my spine fused in November 2008, and, when they couldn't get my discs out through my back incisions, they just put the hardware in and three days later, they went in through my abdomen and got the damaged discs out that way.  They put in some bone and some spackle, and stitched me back up.  

I'd been having some bad pains lately, sometimes up by my ribcage, sometimes down near my belly button.  Turns out I have a hernia.  I'm just wearing a binding to keep it from tearing more.  I'm not sure if I'll need surgery on it or not.
