"Barix is here for me forever. For the rest of my life. Their follow ups don't stop at six weeks. They don't give you a big "C-ya" on your way out of the hospital. Their follow up care includes annual follow ups...programs to guide you through your changes...a dietician that is there every day to help you with any questions you may have or just to listen to your frustrations.
I am one week post-op. I have lost 16 pounds. I know this surgery was the best decision for me and I am thrilled to say I had it. I also know that I had it done at the best facility possible. In many cases, you either end up with a phenomenal surgeon or phenomenal staff. I got both."
"I liked my surgeon from day one! He was very informative and very...real! My opinion has changed slightly, instead of liking my surgeon, I LOVE my surgeon.rnrnHe made me feel so good about the surgery because of the information he provided. He was very detailed about what was going to happen and what did happen. Knowledge eases my mind and makes me feel in control of something I have no control over.rnrnBarix Clinics is the most wonderful medical facility I have ever been to. Because bariatric surgery is the only thing they do there, they are experts. From the first entrance in the building and the chairs sized for their patients, all the way through support groups, clothing exchanges and post-op care, they are truly best in class.rnrnMy decision to have this surgery was not something I took lightly. I took two years to decide to have it, after my research and with the guidance from my family doctor I chose Barix. They do not just tell you what to do to get qualified for surgery, they actually provide most of the tests and services.rnrnTheir PAT is the most thorough medical exam I have ever had in my life. Some may be annoyed by this, but I saw it as a reassurance that this major surgery and my life was in good hands. They wanted to make sure that every detail was as good as it could get to ensure my health, safety and best possible experience from this surgery.rnrnThe post-op care was amazing. I have had numerous \"hospital\" experiences and this was nothing like those. Thankfully. The nurses are very attentive and encouraging. They are with you. They walk with you. They talk with you. They explain what you are feeling and how to make it all work for you. Many employees there have had the surgery so on any given shift, you are likely to find someone who has \"been there\". I never felt alone after my surgery.rnrnI have called the nurses on staff with questions when I went home and they are just as helpful. Never been able to do that before. Just TRY to call a hospital and get a floor nurse on the phone...ha. Not only did I get floor nurses, they were MY floor nurses. The ones I knew! And they said...\"No problem, call anytime\". Really? Wow.rnrnBarix is here for me forever. For the rest of my life. Their follow ups don't stop at six weeks. They don't give you a big \"C-ya\" on your way out of the hospital.

I hope you have as wonderful an experience as I have had/ am having...forever.rnrnOlivia"
