Moving to Utah



Recommended Posts

I grew up in Utah and I'm now moving back home. I've been in Kansas/Missouri for quite a while now but ready to get back to Utah.

I was banded in May 2005. I will need to find a local fill/band Dr. once I get to town...

Just wanted to say hi!!

Hi! I'm so jealous! I want to move back to Utah! I grew up in Orem... love going back to visit.

There's a great radiologist in Payson that does fills out Moutain View hospital. I've had two fills by him and totally love him!

I'm not sure where you're moving to in Utah but if you'd like his number let me know.

I would recommend Dr. Alldredge/Dr. Hansen, they are in a joint practice in Sandy, by Alta View Hospital. Dr. Alldredge did my surgery and results have been great -- 77lbs so far since 1/6/05. I live in Provo, and I go there once a month or so for fills/weigh in/support group.

Hi again!

I've heard great things about Dr. Alldredge/Dr. Hansen and wanted them to do my after care since I"m in Utah quite a bit but they wouldn't see me because I had been banded by another Dr. They didn't evenk know I had been banded in Mexico. They just said they wouldn't see anyone they hadn't banded.

Anyway I don't know if that has changed but I thought I would let you know what I was told.

Good luck!!

Thanks for all the suggestions.. We are moving this weekend. At this time I'm ok with my fill level but would like to have a Dr available for complications or future fills.. I'll try to get a referral from my surgeon here.

Well I emailed Dr. Hansen and explained the situation and he responded and told me they would be happy to take over my care. He suggested that I have my records faxed to the office and then we'll go from there

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
