Dr. Donald Yarbrough - Great at doing Fills



Recommended Posts

Dr. Yarbrough was superb at doing my fills. I am very sad to see him leaving the bariatric center though. I do not know if he will be doing the same line of work in Corvallis or if he is moving onto to another one of his specialties he will be missed.

He is the only doc that I was able to get to fill my band all the way, have me stand up, take a drink, then he slowly released it till the Water trickled down.

That was the last fill I have ever had and that was in October of 2008... 7 months ago almost 8. Absolutely awesome. If he is practicing in Corvallis I will be sure to drive up there.

I just recently read that Corvallis is doing LapBand surgeries. I don't know if your doctor is one of them. I work in Corvallis and know someone who works for the hospital there. I can ask. I went to Portland to have my surgery as it was the closest one to me at the time. I would like to have fills in Corvallis if possible.

Hi Brandy... I got banded in Coos Bay by Dr. Tersigni Sept. 28, 2009. I've only had one fill. It didn't do anything. I live in Eugene and would be able to go to Corvallis more easily than I can go to Coos Bay. Do you know if he is doing fills there? I really like the way you described how he did your fill.

Thanks,

Peggy

Dr. Yarbrough joined the Samaritan Bariatric Program in Corvallis and is doing the same type of work. I've started the program and am hoping to have him do my surgery in spring.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
