Surgeon Testimonial

Steven C. Poplawski, M.D., F.A.C.S.
* Dr. Pop, Elizabeth Lorge, well just everyone that I met at the Barix Clinic was extremely nice. rnrn* Dr. Pop proved to be very informative rnHe is very straight forward and he said we must not forget how we got obese in the first place and we need to think about this alot after surgery, so we don't sabatoge ourselves and put the weight back on. WLS is only a tool and not a magic fix. It requires much work after the surgery to make the tool work for you. rnrn* My mom and friend were very impressed with him too. rnrn** Once I get my approval, I feel I will be in very good hands............ rnrnThe other thing that was very nice..and I appreciated was he was concerned that we keep our relationships on the good road. ...... he told me to tell my husband two things every week after my surgery :love: \"I love him and that I'm not going anywhere\" and \"I am not seeing anyone\" He says men do not like to talk about this with their wifes and have fears of this happening as their wifes get more :sexy: beautiful. rnrn* Dr. Pop actually reminds me of a Dr. Phil. He has a very similar personality. Straight and too the point - no beating around the bush. He's great!!!! rnrn* The Barix clinic is the place to be, they specialize is WLS and make you feel very good. The other thing I really like, is they will always be there for us for support even after surgery.rnrn* The clinic was very clean, and very room for people of our size... They understand the beauty from within and do everything to make us feel welcome and not embarrassed from being overweight.rnrnOverall I rate this place a 10 out 10 and I am looking forward to having surgery as I know I will be in good hands.

    Hello Janet!! Congrats on your surgery with Dr. Pop & Barix Clinics! I hope all has gone well and you are melting away right before your very eyes. I think Barix is top notch and definately gives you the personal attention most hospitals lack. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me. Also, If you would like to join an online, email support group just for Barix patients, please let me know via email. It really is a good support group and helps when you have questions or concerns and wonder if you can get an answer or feedback at any hour of the day. Anyways, if you're interested just let me know and I'll set you up with all the info. I wish you all the best my friend! Hugs and Blessings from your WLS Sister!!

Update on ME!
on October 13, 2008 4:34 am
Well Hello to Everyone!!!

I'm doing just great!  I have not lost anymore weight, although at times this seems to get me down, but then I remember how much I lost and it brings me up.  I hover up and down 5 lbs.  Yes I still get on the scale daily to keep me in check.  I range from 159 - 164 and currently 162.  I've talked to many people and they say I'm just fine the way I am.  Hubby says don't lose anymore so I won't look sick.  I do wish to get my BMI to normal as I'm still in the overweight "sounds funny" because I do not feel overweight at all.  I love my new size 10-12. Heck I was 3x and sometime 4x in certain styles.  It's been almost 2 years now since my surgery and I never EVER regret having the RNY.  It's been mylife savour..... Take care - until the next update - ................smile!
