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

      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. 🤞
