Dr. Drew D. Howard is the Director of the Sadler Weight Loss Center in Conroe and The Woodlands, Texas. Dr. Howard offers a full range of bariatric weight loss surgery options including: gastric bypass surgery, sleeve gastrectomy and adjustable gastric bands (aka - Realize Band or LAP-BAND).

Dr. Howard is the only fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon practicing in Montgomery County. He believes that taking care of his patients is a privilege and it is important to work with them to find the best possible treatment for their problems. He focuses on developing a full weight loss program while utilizing a comprehensive bariatric team approach to treat his patients for the best results and to minimize their postoperative pain through small incision surgery.

All of Dr. Howard’s patients are carefully assessed to see if weight loss surgery is the right decision for them. Dr. Howard helps patients review their weight loss surgery options and patients are asked to complete several pre-operative assessments including visits with:

• A nutritionist who can help the patient understand what they’re eating now and what they will need to eat after weight loss surgery.
• Sub-specialists, if necessary, for other health issues (ie: Cardiologist, Endocrinologist, Pulmonologist, etc.) to be sure the patient’s health is stable enough for weight loss surgery.
• A psychologist who can be sure the patient understands their decision to have weight loss surgery.
