Dr. Fowler doing VSGs

Just to let everyone know Dr. Fowler has done 5 VSGs on his own this week.  He did them before under a watchful eye of other surgeon but now he is certified to do them on his own.  I think next week he has 2 VSGs.  Dr. Fowler only does VSGs if the patient is over BMI 50.

Dr. Fowler is a great doctor.  You won't be sorry.  His team is great.  Castle has great follow up programs and support groups.

I think in a few more years Dr. Fowler will be a lot more well known and will have PLENTY MORE patients.....he is already a GREAT doctor and i trust him completely, but i really think once more ppl know about him, he will be very much wanted.  I know that he has only been doing this for a few years but he is already very good. And all surgeons have to start somewhere. i have heard that he does about 15 cases a month already.  I would recommend him to anyone..thanks asia

Aloha higurl,

I had my VSG just this past Wednesday. I was walking the first night and I left the hospital the following day Dec 4th 2008. My experience was very good with the nursing staff, doctors, and everyone involved with my care when I got to my room. Dr. Fowler, Mary, Lori visited in me in the hospital and were very supportive. I am at home, took my lovenox and just staying on the clear liquid diet. I feel really positive about my experience. I see Dr. Fowler for my first follow-up next week. I am a little sore...but it is to be expected...the elixir for pain works well and the more I walk around the better it gets. I wish you well with your experience on Dec. 10th. It should be fine they gor REALLY good people working with DR. Fowler.

My name is Joe (Maile is my chuahua)...

Good job Joe.  Mary was so excited at our Christmas Party.  This was a big step for Castles Weight Loss Center.  I hope to see you at the next support meeting.

Joe,
Congrads!!  Thanks for your post.  I am going on Dec 10th for my surgery and had my preop visit on Friday.   Everyone there was so welcoming and great.  I wish you a speedy recovery and glad to hear that you are going well.  Sara

Hi Joe,
Im soooo glad that it went well for you.....thats good news!!!  I love Castle and i havnet even had my surgery yet...but of course i am just nervous anyway..not too nervous about Dr. because i trust him..i just am nervous about the liquid diet thing and the needles and such....anyway congrats on ur surgery..God Bless you

Congratulations Joe!  I wanted the VSG too but I'm leaning toward the RNY now due to
insurance purposes.   Best of luck on your upcoming journey and keep us posted!  I look forward to hearing about it.
