I go to the bariatric solutions where dr. stowers is. I had my lapband surgery by dr. dirk rodriguez his partner at the time on aug 2 2011. dr. stowers is the one there now cause dr. dirk left. i saw dr. stowers for my 1 week follow up after surgery. he seemed nice and my first fill on aug 30 will be done there not sure who does fills yet him or nurses. i'll know more by then.my surgery went wonderful. they are both known for excelence.they use the glue strips on the cuts and i had very little discomfort no bleeding or oozing at all im a little over 3 wks out and i was amazed at my easy recovery at 57 yrs old and over 300 lbs. i was very worried. it was a breeze for me and i hear both doctors are similar in their procedures.dr dirk put my incisions in a area that was least to bother me i came home and hopped up on my bed to get on my mini laptop computer no problems.the lift chair i bought in anticipation i would need to help me up and to sleep in as it reclines i never used it my husbands easy chair now lol. any way i cant tell u enough how happy i am with that place and im sure dr. stowers is no different.i had very minimal gas no shoulder pain.took no meds after second day.

i think you will be pleased by the outcome of your surgery.i also stayed overnight because of my insurance and i kept refilling my ice pack they gave me it helps too.also had no nausea ever... good luck hope this helps

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
