Surgeon Testimonial

Steven C. Poplawski, M.D., F.A.C.S.
Dr. Pop was friendly and straightforward, which I appreciated. He detailed what he would be doing and how it would work. We also discussed the importance of having a good support network and how the pouch is a tool that must be used properly to attain optimal results. I am looking forward to my surgery with Dr. Pop and embarking on my weight loss journey!rnrnrnJune 28, 2007rnrnDr. Pop continued to be a great supportive Man,after a few failed attempts to have surgery, I finally am one week out. My experience was positive, Dr. Pop is professional yet has a warm personal side that he shares with his patients. I really think I lucked out having him as a surgeon because he is in my opinion the cream of the crop in bariatric surgeons. rnrnHis surgical technique was excellent, I have minimal bruising after one week and am just a little sore. He also did a liver biopsy while doing my surgery which is an extra step that was very needed. rnrnBarix has an extensive after-care program that addresses all facets of life after weight loss surgery.rnrnI would be remiss if I did not mention the staff at Barix, that are exemplary. Everyone that I encountered was friendly, polite and caring and went that extra step for you.rnrnAn Exceptional Experience!!

All Ready to Roll!

Dec. 23 th.

Well, I have completed all my pretests for Dr. Poplawski in Michigan.  Now it is just a matter of waiting for the call giving me my surgery date.  I had a Stress Test, Pulmonary Function Test, Chest X-Ray, and a lot of bloodwork.  The results were not bad considering I have been a Smoker for many years, although I quit a little over a month ago in preparation for my surgery.  I am so looking forward to having my surgery in the New Year and being able to start living my Life again!  I do so little now, as even simple tasks leave me short of breathe and gasping.  My family has been lukewarm about my surgery except for one sister that has been very supportive from the start.  I am so thankful to have her.  Christmas Eve is tomorrow and my Son and I will be spending the night at my oldest sisters' place.  My Son is almost 21 and on his own.  It will be nice to spend time with my Sis and her two daughters and my Son.  On Christmas Day we are all going to meet up at Moms' place to exchange gifts and visit.  I have not really been in the Holiday spirit at all this year, as a matter of fact I do not have any decorations up and gift wrapping was a chore.  I will be so very grateful when I have more energy and stamina.  I do thank the Good Lord for all that has happened recently and look forward eagerly to the New Year.
