Any TEXAS sleevers use Dr Stowers



Recommended Posts

I am new and I am waiting on approval for a sleeve from Dr Stowers in Decatur Texas. Just wondering if there's anyone out there that is using him or has used him.

Me! I went to my initial consultation at his office on 3/31 and did the psych eval the same day. I also did my 3 months of medically supervised weight loss that Cigna requires thru his office with a nurse practitioner. My stuff was submitted to insurance on 6/23 and was approved on 7/2. Surgery will be on 8/4.

Hi. My surgery is August 5. I am so nervous. Scared but excited. Where are you coming from? I am in Stephenville. I wish you luck on the 4th. I'll be there on the 4th doing my pre lab and registering.

Omg. Did I say the 4th? I meant the 5th!! I will be there for pre-op at 10:30 on the 4th at the hospital and 1:00 at Dr. Stowers office. Then surgery on the 5th. We will be there together.

I am coming from Wichita Falls, so they have set me up with a hotel room the night of the 4th.

I think my email said LaQuinta. Either way, we'll probably be walking the halls together after surgery!

One part of me is extremely excited. Another part is scared to death. Lol

It takes me awhile to reply back we just sold our house and are staying with friends until we can find something. Their place is way out in a rural area and the internet service is not so great. I wish you lots of luck and success. My name is Jennifer that way in case we see each other you'll know my name.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
