Anyone familiar with Bariatric Solutions and Dr. Steven Stowers in Texas. I was just concerned how involved they should be with me in the beginning. I'm due to have surgery May 28th. I've never meet Dr. Stowers I've just meet with his assistant, a Dr. too. I meet with Stowers the day before my surgery. I've meet with the nutritionist once for about 20 min. They have a number you can call and get any questions answered. have not had any problems with them. I don't know if they have an after hour number,but I'm sure they would, need to ask. I just thought there would be more interaction with the Dr. and nutritionist with requards to me. Does this sound normal to anyone? They did give me an extensive booklet,and they told me to read it cover to cover. Which I have. It just sounds from the post that your all's Dr.s are more interactive with you. Does that happen more after the surgery? Just wanted to make sure they know what they are doing. I did research, they seemed to be on the up and up. Just thought I'd ask. Thanks

That was suppose to be Dr.Scott Stowers. Oops

My son in law went their he has the sleeve done I can ask who his Dr was and what he thinks about them. We walk 3 times a week I am not going to see him until Monday unless they come over Sunday for my last supper before my pre-opt starts. LOL

I'm going through True Results in Houston and unfortunately unless you call them with specific questions, they expect you to learn as much as you can independently. Since this surgery isn't new and they have had so many patients, it's kind of hard not to think we are almost "just a number" to them. Good luck and don't be afraid! My surgery is sometime next month, I'm in limbo right now waiting for my psych evaluation to get to TR so they can send the package to BCBS.
