Dr. Shawn Stevenson - Arizona



Recommended Posts

I'm setting up my first consult with Dr. Shawn Stevenson with Evolve for my sleeve. But I can't really find anything on him, except he seems to move around a lot. Anyone have him as a doctor? Anyone know why he moves around so much? Looks like he was down in Tucson and then with true results, and a few other places. Any info would be great. Thanks.

I just had my surgery through Dr Stevenson Nov 15th. Very nice guy.. i also did research but didnt find alot either. He is actually a stomach surgeon so he not only does bariatric but all kinds of stuff. he has a nice office in chandler you will meet him at. from what i understand he still works in tuscon. like he has two offices. umm my surgery went well i had no complications. it was outpatient.. i am down alomost 50 lbs so far since november. i talked to this old couple in his office on my pre op visit who were there for some surgery stuff non weightloss related and he said dr stevenson operated on him and his wife and he really liked him as well. so i dunno. cost wise is if your insurance wont cover much evolve seemed to be best price with bcbs.. i did quotes with wliaz and true results. evolve gave me best quote. my insurance sucked he has had no fatal issues i asked him. and he is super strict on diet. word of advice he will want u to go on shakes. i used slim fast ADVANCED nutrition. make sure advanced the other slim fast have to much sugar. but after u go to his office u will be more comfortable. i thought it was odd to talk to people in tx from evolve though like it was a scam but there not its real. the surgeons at true results and wliaz and mainly at any of these weightloss places are contract surgeons. not really inhouse ones. maybe evolve gave him a better cut or deal? idk

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
