I am in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for the winter. I have gotten all my fills with Dr Ortiz in TJ. Had to get unfilled because my stomach stretched and band almost slipped ... had to race to Tj so needless to say.... I used all my moms Frequent flyer miles.... so Idaho falls and Blackfoot are not far... But I know in in Boise they us the fluoro... I am 19 yrs old.... does anyone have any info for me???? Thank you... I am at my goal of 100 lbs but need that little restriction !!!

HANNA,call the "new U" in Idaho Falls.They are wonderful people and i'm sure they can help you.208-529-7373.Good- Luck Please keep me posted.

I don't know if fluro is a must. But I see Cyndi Rice at Health and Wellness in Pocatello. She works closely with Ortiz; she had her surgery with Ortiz and so did I. She charges $175 but doesn't use flouro.

Thank you so much. There is a Dr Davis in Blackfoot at Bingham Medical Center and Idaho falls of Pocotello would be perfect for me the only other is in Salt Lake city 5 hours away.... I am just afraid without floro cause I have heard such nightmares about Dr. poking holes in the tubes of the ports.... and leakage and I just freak out. Needles scare me. Thank you for your replies... I will check it all out. Hanna

Does she ever miss the port and poke around? That is what I am afraid of.....

Do they use fluro? I am afraid of them missing the port. Do they ever miss?

Thank you so much Cyndi is awesome... she emailed us right back and I am soooo excited....we are going to connect with her... thanks...
