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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
