Doctors have huge issues with dealing with patients that were banded by someone else. Ask your own doc if they can refer you to someone due to the move. If not, check out www.fillcentersusa.com They are putting up offices everywhere and do only fills for patients that can't find a doctor. I am very pleased with them.

ask your doc. Band docs are very picky.

I don't think there is a Fill Center USA location in the Portland area. There wasn't the last time I looked.

Try calling Dr Emma Patterson's office at Oregon Weight Loss Surgery. They're in Portland. They are great. I don't know if they take other surgeons' patients or not. I had my surgery there and my original surgeon actually left the practice to move back to Canada with his family, but Emma and her partner Jay Jan did my followup and they were terrific. Emma also referred me to a surgeon to continue my followup when I moved to Spokane this year. I think the surgeons are starting to realize that people just don't stay in one area for the rest of their lives after being banded.

It would help if you got a referral from your original surgeon, and if you sent them copies of your records from your surgeon and your follow up appointments. That helps them have some more info about your surgery and get a feel for what your surgeon was like, and it seems to help if you're trying to find a new person to do follow up.

Oregon Weight Loss Surgery's number is is 503-227-5050.
Good luck!
