Fill doctors in UT?



Recommended Posts

Hi All!

I live in Sandy and will be having surgery in Mexico in January. I was wondering if any of you have a local doctor who will do fills that you trust? My biggest concern with the surgery right now is aftercare and I'd really appreciate any insight you can share!

Try reaching out to Dr. Alldredge or Dr. Hansen at South Valley Surgical. They are right by Alta View Hospital on 1300 East. I don't know what their policy is on fills for patients from Mexico, but it's worth a phone call. Their phone # is (801) 571-9511 and their website is www.svsurgical.com.

Dr. Alldredge performed my surgery on 10/23, and everyone there is so great! Many of the nurses and the social worker there have had the surgery so they understand what the patients are going through.

Best of luck!

The only doctors in Utah that will do fills for Mexico patients are Dr. Green in Payson and a new doctor in Salt Lake that works for FillCentersUSA.

Hi again Lori! :) I know that Dr. Hansen and Dr. Alldredge will not do fills for Mexico patients. There is a Fillcenters USA (866-345-5872) that is opening soon or might be open now and I've also heard that Dr. McKeen in Orem will do fills as well.

Hi! Just wanted to let you know my experience with fill doctors here in Utah...I had my band on 3/3/10 in Tijuana, Mexico by Dr. Kuri and it was the best experience ever. I called Surgical Weight Loss Center in Salt Lake and they are happy to do my fills. They charge $100 for new patient and then $75 for a fill. Now if you go back within two weeks, there is no charge and so if it takes a couple weeks to get your fill correct, there is no charge. After the first few times I did get a bill in the mail charging me and I freaked out but I called them and told them I was self pay and they took care of the error. I have been very happy with all of their help. When I went I just took the info that my surgeon gave me and I have not had any problems. Hope this helps...oh, their phone # is 801-746-2885

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
