Recommended Posts

I'm from Salem too. Getting banded on 2/15 with Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. I plan to get my fills in Bend unless I find something closer. If you are willing to go to Bend, check out fillcentersusa.com

I did a lot of research on what doctor I wanted to have do my fills, given the fact that I was banded in MX it made the search a bit more of a challenge. I have Dr. Raul Mirande (Klamath Falls) do all my follow up care. He is great - he is very straight forward and a tell it like it is kind of Dr. He does all the fills under flouroscopy and is willing to spend the time to answer your questions. I would suggest talking to him or his staff I drive from Bend to see him because I was and still am very impressed with the care I receive.

Has anyone used Dr Fitzpatrick? I had lap band surgery last june '06 and have not had a fill. I have gained 15lbs and think I must need a fill. I have read about the doc in Klamath falls but that is a long way to go for me. Anybody used anyone else?? Thanks

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
