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

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
