Great fill doc in Salt Lake City, Utah.



Recommended Posts

There is a great fill doctor in Salt Lake city Utah. His name is Doctor Derek Muse. He is on Highland Drive at the Highland Family Medical Center. I got in touch with him through FillCenters USA. I just went on to their website, got their 800 number and called and they set me up with him based on distance from my home and he is the best!

I use Dr, Muse (via fillcentersusa) as well and love him. Every time I see him he seems to have more and more information and I am supremely happy with him.

He has access to flouro one day per week and will schedule an appointment on that day ( I think it is either Tuesdays or Thursdays) if you request it.

He has been really good about locating my port easily without it and I have never had the need for it.

He's on vacation for the next 2 weeks, but I am really happy using him.

Dr. Muse does use flouro but he hasn't needed to for me yet. I was last there on April 5th and he said he now has access to flouro tue and thurs in the afternoons. Is it just me or does he look like a cross between Michael J. Fox and Hannibal Lector?

ROFL, a little bit.

I was just in yesterday and am now up to 2cc's and I feel very tight today. I haven't used flouro or been numbed up for my fills, he said most people ask to be numb first, I figure it will hurt just as much to poke me and get me numb as it will to just do my fill. He looked at me like I was crazy when I said that,lol.

His staff seems nice as well, I am glad he started doing fills and he is so close to my home in Taylorsville.

I think he only does "first appointments" on days he has flouro available just in case.

      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.
