Dr. Stegemann has been instrumental in organizing the practice of bariatric surgery in the state of Texas. He organized the first meeting of bariatric surgeons in the state which led to the creation of the Texas Association of Bariatric Surgeons (TABS). The organization, under the leadership of Dr. Stegemann, has seen its membership and influence steadily grow. This year the group was able to introduce a bill into the Texas Legislature which led to coverage of weight loss surgery for State employees. Dr. Stegemann is also an active committee member in the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons and is on the Board of Directors of the Obesity Action Coalition.

Dr. Stegemann is a sought after speaker by patients and professionals on the topic of obesity, weight loss surgery, and surgical aftercare. He has developed a post-operative program called The Prescription For Weight Loss Success© which has helped hundreds of patients achieve long-term success after surgery. This program addresses the dietary, physical and emotional changes that a patient must make to be successful after weight loss surgery.
