My doctor is Dr. Hanafy at Pioneer Valley Bariatric Center at Pioneer Valley Hospital. I have researched and have gotten very positive feedback from patients and others. I have seen him twice during the presentation and then my eval appointment and he seems very up to date, informative, very caring and took for ever to answer all of my questions and concerns. Didn't make me feel like I was another $ in his pocket. I have my pre op appointment for the end of July. I have started with my pre op diet and exercise. I'm very excited and looking forward for the rest of my new life!!!!!

There's a Dr. Green in Payson, but apparently his fills are pretty expensive. As far as I know, he's the only one in Utah that does fills for patients banded outside the U.S.

Dr. Hansen from South Valley Surgical did my band operation. Their fees are VERY reasonable (I believe the cheapest in Utah) and the support you get is phenomenal. You get your first year of free fills and after that it's only $250 for unlimited fills every year after that (or $60/fill). Before going to Mexico, you should know that fills here in Utah could end up costing almost as much as getting your surgery done here by the time you are finished. I'm glad you're doing your homework ahead of time.

You can visit the Bariatric Center at Pioneer Valley Hospital. The physician is Dr. Hanafy Hanafy and their number is 801-840-9474. Their staff is very supportive. If anyone follows up with them, let me know how you liked or did not liked them. :gluck:

Hi, just a note to give you Dr. McKeens's phone number. Call his Nurse Chris at 801-380-5020 you will be asked to leave your name and a phone number. She will get back to you to set up an appointment. Let them know I referred you, I may get a few $$ off my next fill. He has been charging me $200.00.

Dr. McKeen is great and his Nurse is very easy to work with. I need to get back in for another fill soon too. His office is in Orem, he flys in to do Surgery and fills every two weeks. Just e-mail me if you have other questions.

I love Dr. Hanson and his staff and they are right here in utha in case anything happens.

Good luck anillacookie:bandit

When I got my surgery in Mexico Dr. Green was charging $75 a fill. The hospital just raised it to 550 so now I am trying to find somewhere else to go. If anyone hears of a place in Utah please let me know. thanks

I am so so sad that Dr. Green raised his prices... I loved going to him...He's always so kind and so encouraging.

When I asked the receptionist about the prices going up she said that the hosptial was raising their fee's to over $300 and then dr. Green's fees on the top of that. It's just too expensive. His nurse was a wee bit defensive about it and said that they were still comparable to everyone else.... uh no they're not.

I hope that by everyone going else where that they are forced to lower the prices... doubt it will happen though.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
