reno1128 34 Posted June 17, 2013 I am having a consult with Dr. Stowers today I am going to him for a second opinion. My first was with Dr. Kim in Colleyville. Anyone have experience with these docs? ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tryingTeresa 17 Posted June 17, 2013 I used Dr. Stowers. I think when you meet him you are going to love him - he is very laid back & friendly - never seems to be in a rush. I was sleeved on May 7th. I highly recommend him - no complications. After the surgury you really don't see him anymore, he has staff that helps with everything. His staff is great. Twice I have left messages for his dietician after she was gone for the day. She called me from home that evening. The exercise guy has been just as prompt. Also the Decatur hospital staff is really great - fantastic hospital for a small town. I would recommend Dr. Stowers in a heartbeat. Good luck with your decision.

NtvTxn 1,262 Posted June 17, 2013 I don't 'know' either one of them but shoot, Nate Newton used Dr. Kim. I DID have a friend who went to him, she got a band, this was several years ago. She has not been successful, she lost and regained all of it......but it's a lap band, I only know ONE person who has been successful with that procedure. Go with your gut feeling after meeting this guy and if you aren't thoroughly impressed with one of them.....go talk to a third one. You'll click with somebody!

jenjenriley 0 Posted July 22, 2014 I am having surgery with Dr Stowers on August 5, 2014, I'm so glad to read all the positive feedback. He seemed really nice. I'm scared but excited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jparadise 0 Posted July 23, 2014 My surgery date is July 30, 2014 with him!!!! Day one of the liquid diet, yikes it is going to be a LOOONG week! I have been very impressed with his staff and he could not be nicer. He does have a laid back attitude but he has confidence that you can succeed in this journey. Here is to a new me in 2014 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7 Bites_Jen 479 Posted July 23, 2014 I know several people that have used Dr. Stowers and have done beautifully. I do recommend finding a support group, however, as they do not offer one face-to-face. We go to one in the Dallas area (we're in Wise and Montague counties) and I am about to start one in Bowie (if you're close). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melodica 64 Posted July 29, 2014 Dr. Stowers performed my sleeve surgery and Dr. Wright performed my hiatal hernia surgery. They were both really nice guys with a good sense of humor. I didn't have any complications and the hospital staff was nice as well. Most of my communication has been with the girls in the office and they have all been friendly and helpful. As far as weight loss, I've dropped 64lbs in three months. Probably would be more if I'd get off my butt and exercise more! I'd definitely recommend him.

mtravel10 1 Posted May 7, 2016 I am in the process of scheduling my VSG surgery with Dr. Stowers. I did a phone consultation with him (I live in Seattle) and he seemed great. I was wondering how everyones progress has been going since going to Dr. Stowers? Any information you could give me would be great! Thank you!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
