Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I know of three different surgeons in the SLC/Provo area that do the Lap Band surgiers and I've heard great things from their patients. If I hadn't gone with Dr. Aceves I would have gone with a Utah surgeon because my family is there. Hope that helps!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Thank you so much Ruth!!! xoxo & Ruth Francks <cajunfrancks@...> wrote: Hi!I noticed some people looking for fill Dr.'s in Utah and thought I would answer.I grew up in Utah and go there often enough to visit family that I've just decided to do my fills there instead of here in Texas where I had a very bad experience (with the Texas Dr.)There's a Dr. in Provo, Dr. McKeen who is in Utah every other week doing fills and lap band surgeries. The other weeks he's in California in his other office. He will do fills on Mexican bandsters but it's hard to get in to see him since he's only in Utah every other week and his own patients come first.His office referred me to Dr. Green who is in MOuntain View Hospital in Payson. He's a radiologist and he was trained by Dr. McKeen to do fills. I had an excellent experience with him. He was very kind and he is very respectful of the Mexican Dr's and the great lapband surgeries that they do.He does the fill under flouro. The fee is $150 to the hospital and $100 in cash to the Dr. If you are too full or have any problems with the next couple of weeks he'll see you at no charge, even on the weekends.I had a wonderful experience with him and recommend him. One of his recpetionist is even a lap band patient. Dr. Green's number is 801-465-7089. When you call you'll get the radiology department and just tell them you want a lap band fill. They are very helpful.Let me know if you have any questions!Ruth wrote on 10/15/2005, 9:29 AM:> Vesper, did you find a doctor in Utah to do your fills?
