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

      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.
