Anyone use him? What has been your experience? He is on my ins. =)

He seems nice but very quick and to the point. Of course when I went in for the initial consult they had med students there....the one who came in initially was the husband of someone I work with at church. Kind of uncomfortable since I don't know them very well. I was more uncomfortable than I would have been with only him and I forgot most of my questions. ugh.

Hi, this reply is a little late, but I am currently getting my requirements together to have Dr. Fang do my sleeve for me. He seemed nice. I actually had a consult with Dr. Juarez a few years ago, and I felt that he was just ok. Since then I have actually encountered 3 people in my circle that have had surgery with Dr. Fang and they highly recommended him. Based on their recommendations I am now pursuing surgery with him. There don't seem to be many Phoenician's around here, so It's nice to find another one! Good luck with your journey!

Glad to hear someone else is going to him. Also good to hear good recommendations! Thanks! I do have a friend who had a RnY 2 yrs ago by Dr. Juarez who liked him. :) My paperwork should go in for approval this week! yikes! I am hoping it will go easily and I will be able to do this this year.

Good to hear from another Phoenician. =)

Wow, that's great that you have all of your information together. I just saw Dr. Fang yesterday. I think all I need now is my psychological eval. I'm hoping to have surgery before the end of the year. That might be an unrealistic goal I suppose. Keep me updated on your progress. Good luck! If you are on Facebook you should look me up.

Hi - I was trying to connect with people from Phoenix. Did either of you have your surgery? I am scheduled with Dr. Blackstone in Scottdale for March 8th. Would like to hear how it is going for you.

I had mine on Nov 9, 2010. I have lost 54lbs so far. cool.gif Dr Fang is quiet but good. I have been very happy with my sleeve. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Furio had hers done in Jan. =)

I think my friend has Blackstone do her bypass but I am not sure.

Good luck to you!

Hi jerri, like 6kiddos said I had my surgery with Dr. Fang on 1/4/2011. I wouldn't have changed a thing, Dr. Fang was great. So far as of last week I was down 30, I hope for more this week, but I've been sick and not eating great or working out, so we'll see. I hear a lot of great things about Dr. Blackstone, I know she's crazy busy! Good luck to you.

Wow, so in less than 2 months you've lost 30 lbs? When I think about April (a month after surgery) and being down as little as like 15 lbs, I cannot believe that will happen to me. After you've spent your whole adult life heavy and strictly dieting only to lose maybe (if I'm lucky) five lbs in a month, it's just really hard to grasp all these stories about losing so much weight! I'm so excited about it.

Hello fellow 'Fang'ers' :)

I am scheduled to get my sleeve with Dr. Fang on July 7th and am super excited. Is there anything that you can tell me about your procedure with him? He did seem quiet but was happy to answer all my questions (millions of them) and even called me a few times to answer questions I left with the receptionist.

Does anyone on here know what size bougie he uses? I don't particularly care but would be interested to know. The more stomach gone the better in my mind - just leave me enough to sustain life ;)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
