Surgeon Testimonial

Steven C. Poplawski, M.D., F.A.C.S.
I meet Dr. Poplawski on September 12/2006 in MI at my first consult! My first impression of Dr. Poplawski was how friendly he was! He explained how the procedure was done, how long it takes, the pros and cons of having it done, what to do before surgery, the risks with the surgery, etc. His staff were very helpful and kind. I can't really say there was anything I dislike about him! I mean we did wait for a long time to see him but there were about 20 other people in front of me! So it shows that he took the time to listen and answer any questions and concerns that one might have! He was very foward about the risks! But I see it this way, you can't say you didn't know what the risks were! At first I was scared and that is why it took me almost a year to make my decision! OH really helped me see that as a surgeon Dr. Pop is responsible for letting us know the risks! One thing that stood out the most was his smile and sense of humor! Thanks for all the info. Dr. Pop!

January 14/09-I finally reached my goal!
posted on 1/14/09 1:25 pm
So the new year brought me a lot of happiness. I met my goal weight, I'm eating healthy and have met a wonderful man who showers me with compliments and praises my sucess. I'm just shy 11 months post-op and am down 140 lbs. Can I say WOW?!? It's true you want to get rid of bad spots on your body work extra hard. I've been working out a little each night and let me tell you I have noticed a difference. From being plateau for two months to losing 5 inches throughout my body and another 10 pds since my weigh-in in Dec. I'm extatic. I have recieved a new lease on life and I am making full use of it. I guess my only worry is lossing too much weight. Is it possible? I don't know. But for now I eat healthly, work out everyday (a little goes a long way) and I make every effort to tell myself something postive. My 12 month post-op appoinment is Feb 16. I look foward to seeing Dr. Pop and see what he has to say. It's been a hard but exilarating journey. One that I would take in a heartbeat again. TO all comtemplating surgery. like Dawn has always said do your reasearch and know all the facts. TO add to that, I would recommend anyone who can to do it because it will change your life for the better. But remember this isn't an overnite weight loss miracle, you need to change your mind set or your success will be min. A healthy diet goes hand in hand with excercise. Even if it is a little each day it does make a difference. Thank you for reading my blog and I hope I can inspire or movtivate someone as I have been motivated by my OH. Take care for now!
