Surgeon Testimonial

Steven C. Poplawski, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Steven Poplawski, my first impression was he's shorter than I thought and really serious. As he started talking I realized he was just very matter of fact. He puts alot of emphasis on this being "only a tool" and what you do with it is up to you! I appreciated his straight forward approach and he answered all questions with authority on the matter. I liked knowing my surgeon was confident w/out being condescending. He was very empathetic to the needs of his patients. I would rate Dr. Pop very high on the surgeons list. I feel completely safe now & confident in my decision to have rny surgery. The staff at Barix Clinics were kind and efficient so far. I'll let you know more after surgery! But I rest knowing I'm going to be in the best hands & get the best of care!

    Well...it's almost here girl! You have been on my mind since 5 am. I just want you to know...you are gonna do great, I just know it and you KNOW I know everything!! You have been such an inspiration to me through all of this and I just pray God sends you a special angel tomorrow to calm your nerves (if you have any), to comfort your husband and those beautiful children, and to watch over you in the OR to make sure everything goes perfectly. I pray God sends you peace to know this is the right decision for you and those closest to you, and he grants you the grace to come through it all victorious on the other side. I cannot tell you how happy I am for you my friend. I am just almost in tears writing this, because I know what a life-changing thing you are about to undergo and I am just so happy to be a part of it. Just know, you ROCK!! I've got a seat for you on the bench right beside me! Now you go get all fabulous, K?? Love ya bunches!! Kristen

    Hi Stef. Well tomorrow is the big day and I am so excited for you. People have no idea what we've gone through and what we will face. All I can say is that WLS is the best thing that can ever happen to anyone who is overweight and I wish you all the happiness and best. My prayers are always with you and I'll be thinking of you. God bless and let me welcome you to the losing side. Kathi
