I'm considering having lap band surgery with Dr. Steve Tersigni in Coos Bay, Oregon and was wondering if anyone can give me any information regarding this doctor. Thanks!

What would you like to know about my wonderful doctor?

Where do you live? I can tell you anything you want to know about him. I have referred a lot of people to him and they are all very happy that he did their surgery.

I live in florence and Coos Bay is just a hop away from here.

There is a clinic in Eugene that does the Lap Band, but there is no way I am going there, I have never hear a thing from them, but I have hear things about this clinic in Coos Bay that they are great, and I have seen results.

they have a great website Bay Bariatrics - Steve Tersigni, MD - Coos Bay, Oregon

Ofcourse I have not made even my first appointment yet, but I did called and they are sending me an information packet.

They have a special for December for 10,000. Unfortunally I can't have mine until January, I want the Hollidays to be over, and I am self pay so even if I probably will have it all by then, I am not wanting to deal with the tax part of it until then. But if the price goes up quite a bit more after Christmas, I might decide to pay it and just go for it.

I will be making my appointment probably next week to talk to him about all this and meet him.

Denise, was wondering how fast does the process from getting ready to the actually surgery goes?

I am nervous, I knew I wanted to do this a few months ago, but it has been in the last two months that I finally decided for sure and told my husband,, I been saving since and I will have it I know in one month.

I have two little kids with autism, I need to have energy, and this is not on ly for them, but for me :cool: well,, anywho, I said enough lol, for now :faint:

Hi there,

I sent you a private message. Let me know if you have any other questions. Dr. T just came to our last support group meeting this past tuesday, and he didn't say anything about the price changing.

I paid $10,000.00 I asked if the price was going to go up now that they are a center of excellence and they said no.

I spoke with Robin ( not sure of her title) earlier this week and she said the " sale" will over by the end of the year. I scheduled a consultation for December 10. I was told if I decide to do it then, I can wait to do surgery after the 1st of the year.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
