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.

      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.
