<p>My surgery is quickly approaching and I was wondering if there are any other patients on here who are also seen by Dr. Patterson or any of the doctors at Oregon Weight Loss Surgery?</p>

Lucky you! You have your surgery date!

I will be going to Dr. Patterson, but am waiting for the intake person to come back from vacation. How long did it take you to go through the process? Do you have a pre-op diet?

I met two other people that go to Dr. Patterson and my MD works with her a lot. I have heard good things about her. That's why I chose her.

Lets keep in touch!

Kathy, its great to meet someone going through the same process. I went to the seminar back in January. I had to wait a month for them to verify my insurance and call me for an appointment. It took another month to two months to get through all the appoiments and sleep study. It took another month for the insurance to approve the surgery. But it was worth it to finally get my date.

I had my surgery with Dr. Patterson 1 year and 8 mos. ago. I have been very pleased with her. I only wished that I did not have to drive to Portland to see her. I have had a few visits with Dr. Halipin and she is very good too.

I had United HealthCare Ins. I did not have any problems getting approved. The length of time from the Information Session to Surgery was 8 months. I was confirming all information was in place with Dr. Patterson's office and my insurance every step of the way to ensure smooth progress. Don't assume that everything is being taken care of make sure it is by checking up. I had been told one of the documents needed was not recieved but they actually had it in the file. Just make sure you do your homework.:wink:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
