Southern Oregon. My sister and my mom both went to Tersigni back in 2000-2001. I went to Trinity Medical in Tijuana and I was extremely happy. They treated us amazing. How many places do you know that will take you sightseeing, buy your wife lobster for dinner and to an hour long massage? There is a coordinator in Grants Pass for them.

WOW!!! I live in Roseburg, Oregon!! I also had Tersigni do my RNY. One thing for sure he is a good surgeon but no bedside manner at all!! I had problems with Strictures and I had to have 5 endoscopes with 4 dilations. He referred to me as a PROBLEM CHILD!!! I finally kind of fired him after I went to OHSU with my hubby and found out they would take me on as a PT. He also tried to do a Revision from a Lap Band to a RNY on my hubby but his band had eroded into his liver so they removed his gallbladder and closed him up and told us in 3 months he would do the RNY. He got abscesses and almost died. He was sick for 9 months and 3 months he doesn't even remember!! Long story short because he is Diabetic OHSU wanted his A1C to a 7 or below and to lose 20#'s before they could do his surgery. He could get his A1C down but his weight would go up. And if his weight went down his A1C would go up!! We ended up going to Juarez Mexico, he was supposed to have the RNY but his whole right side was solid scar tissue so they couldn't do it and he ended up with the Sleeve. Not much restriction so his weight loss is very slow. He has lost 60#'s since June 3. But I had lost 132#'s in 6 months. Then I did have a 8# gain but I was way to low at 117. It is just totally amazing that just 8#'s made that much difference. We really wished we would have gone to Tijuana. We have heard real positive things about them. I can say this for sure I WOULD NEVER NEVER recommend BELITE the Coordinator .The lady who set us up couldn't keep herself straight about who she was talking too. So SAD!!! Did your MOM and SISTER have good results with Tersigni? Anyhow I guess we are neighbors. LOL Look forward to talking again.

My sister is doing well. My mom died 6 months later. It turns out that she had lung cancer that we didn't know about. Her body quit fighting the cancer when she needed to heal from the bypass. It is one of the reasons why I fought doing this.

[shedo82773 1,236]

I'm so very sorry High Functioning Fatman!! I lost my Mom to Lung Cancer 12 years ago!! That emptiness just never goes away. I miss her everyday. She wanted to wait until she had Medicare before she went to the Cancer Dr's. So she was to far gone to fight it. So sorry again!!
