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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
