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!!

I'm feeling WONDERFUL!!!
posted on 5/6/08 9:00 am

I am participating in a 5 KM Walk for ALS walkathon in Parry Sound on Saturday, May 24.  My father passed away with this horrible disease just about eleven years ago and I am joining my strength with others in this walkathon to unite and raise funds to help find a cure!    Please make a donation online on my website by the attached link or if you prefer I can collect it personally from you before the Walkathon.  I must submit my pledge forms the day of the Walk. Receipts will be issued and you can use them for 2008 taxes.  Online donation receive immediate personalized receipts.  Can you help me and to help ALS sufferers?  
Thanks from the bottom of my heart Janet - Dad & Mom and family
