Hi there, I had my VSG done in Mexico and therefore am not able to attend the support groups here in Eugene/Springfield because I'm not a patient and can't be accepted as a patient at PeaceHealth Bariatric Center. However....they say if I "know" someone else in the program I can tag along with them to a support group. Anyone? 
Dang it! I'm in the Eugene area looking for the same:-) There must not be too many Oregon folks on here!
I am in SouthEast Oregon, just over the hill. Also looking for a run/walk/hike partner. I am on forced strolling right now (recovering from bladder surgery) but hoping to get several runs in before going to Mx in May for Dr. S's work.

I live in Waldport, OR. I had the lap band in 2006 in Mexico. I've gained almost 100 pounds and only lost 25 after surgery. I'm now in a program in Corvallis to have wls. I'm looking at May for the surgery date. I'm leaning towards a bypass. I just don't think the other wls would work well for me. Any advice for someone learning to walk and talk in a new world?
Hello! I am a patient of Dr, Tersigni's as well! My surgery is January 13th. This is my first time on this sight, I want to make sure I do everything they recommend
nice to meet you:-)
well wishes for a speedy recovery
Yes I am from Roseburg. I had the RNY done. I chose that because if I was going to have surgery to lose weight I wanted to be all in. I didn't want any wiggle room. The surgery went great. I did have to stay 3 extra days in the hospital for something called an illias. My insides wouldn't wake up. You will be treated very well. I am doing really well at home. I don't like pain drugs so I am limiting myself to about 10mg a couple times a day of the pain med liquid. This week I am taking it very easy. Today I rested a bunch. I am giving myself til the weekend to lounge around then it's going to pick up. I have been sampling all the good stuff Robin packed into the bag I got from the class she gives. I had cream of vegetable soup today, an orange mango shake, and an orange flavor syrup in some water. It was all very good. My struggle isn't hunger it's taste/texter stuff so that soup and shake really helped. It will be nice when I can nibble on food that can be prepared as a meal for my Husband and I. I found my George Foreman grill a couple weeks back. I am looking forward to using the heck out of that thing.
Well there's more than you asked for. Best wishes to you on your surgery!! New you, New Year 2015!
I'm in Coos Bay OR. Anyone local? I'm pre-op. 12-30-14 scheduled date. I'm having the RNY procedure. Need info about where to get pre-op liquids locally.
