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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
