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.

HI! I live in Herriman. I was banded on April 2-07. Doing Great! Have lost 20lbs. Starting to look like a different person. Face is thinning out. Stomach is going south and so are my hooters.:D Oh the price you have to pay, won't it be nice? I love not thinking about food all the time. Haven't had a fill yet. Dr Hansen at South Valley Surgical did ny band. Very nice Dr.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
