Looking for Doctor in Idaho



Recommended Posts

I have a friend that had the lap band done January 2006 in Pocatello, Idaho. Since then she said that Idaho does not have anyone to give fills. I need to know if this is correct. Can you tell me the names and towns of Lap Band Doctor's in Idaho?

Thanks:help:

:)Not so! I was banded in November of 2007 through the "New U Clinic" out of Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls (45 mins NO. of Pocatello) and also there is a Nurse in Pocatello who does fills - Cynthia Rice, RN.

Correct!!! I was banded in Idaho Falls also by Dr. Baird and go through the New U Bariatric Clinic for my fills. I did not know that there was an RN that did fills in Pocatello though. I will have to look into that since I live in Pocatello.

Deanna -

I haven't had a fill yet - does the New U clinic do the "flouro" fill? Who did your fill - Carolyn or Paula? How did it go? I'm anxious for my first fill to get some restriction. Thanks for the info.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
