Anyone had the VSG with Dr Stephen Myers?

I agree 100% with this statement.  I would possibly be more emphatic:  Dr. Myers is an excellent surgeon.  The fact that you hear completely disparent opinions regarding his personality should throw a red flag or two if that's important to you.  Additionally, I had serious concerns about the professionalism of his staff.  However, as a surgeon, I have not one complaint and that skill set was what I was after.

Thanks everyone for posting!  There were more of you out there than I expected.  Your assuring words put me at ease.   I recently checked out Dr myers Blog and it said that he has done over 100 of them!  Now i just have to wait til mine gets approved.

I have a good friend who had the sleeve with Dr. Myers about 3 yrs ago.  She is doing so well, that that is the surgery I will be having.  Since I just saw this post, and it was Feb, was wondering what you decided to do? 

I was in Dr Myers program for three months, then had a *MAJOR* falling out with him and switched surgeons pronto! -Can't say a single nice word about the guy, so I will just say I do not recommend him at all.

My experience with Dr Schumacher has been top not*****omparison. I can also say good things about Dr. Chobin at Mt Carmel. I attended her seminar and my neighbor had surgery with her. She did a fine job.

I was sleeved by Dr Myers on March 10, then he removed my gallbladder and repaired an abdominal hernia at the end of June. His care and followup have been stellar. I go to the support group meetings every month and have continued my membership with McConnell for workouts.
