loridee11 522 Posted November 25, 2006 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! Lori Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auntie Aud 0 Posted November 26, 2006 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kynekke 0 Posted December 7, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JDru 0 Posted December 7, 2006 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.

hapydayz 1 Posted January 27, 2011 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
