"My first impression of Dr. Fowler was suprised how young he was. He was having a seminar about weight loss surgery. He made a great impression on me and over the next few months, I knew I had made a great choice in a bariatric surgeon. His team and the Surgical Weight Loss Institute at Castle are the best. I come off as shy, but they made me feel part of an Ohana (family).
On our post op appointment, I was really nervous, but as soon as we said hello, and I felt like we were old friends again.
Dr. Fowler will not decide what surgery you should have, he will always tell you what options you have and he always let you decided. Half way through my journey before my surgery, I changed my mind on what kind o procedure to have. Dr. Fowler and his team were very understanding and helped me adjust to my new descision.
His team has always let me know that my surgery was not the magic pill on weight loss. I know that it will take alot on my part to lose weight, a good regimne of nutritional food and exercise will help me have the long term goal of weight loss
In our Post op appointment Dr. Fowler laid down all the facts about my surgery, we went through all the pro's and con's of having weight loss surgery.
If I had to rate Dr. Fowler on a scale from 1-10 he is defeneitly an 15, above and beyond.
If I had to choose surgical competence or bedside manner, I would choose both. I beleive you have to have both in order to survive weight loss surgery. "
