Resilience And Forgiveness Forge My Path: Living with the disease of obesity has taught me many life lessons. At the age of fifty-four in 2012, I had weight loss surgery. Eleven years later, I understand how my many years of struggle have helped me adapt to my new life post-surgery, with primarily good days and ...
Good Morning and Happy Taco Tuesday to those who celebrate 🙂 Unfortunately I am getting further and further under the weather. I'm worried because I have so much to do and I couldn't make it through the day without a long nap yesterday. This semester has literally twice the amount…

Here are some products that I find really helpful post-WLS. I'm not sure that these products are available in the U.S, but I've added some information to help you find them. Four Seasons Mediterranean Inspired Cauliflower Rice is yummy, and hits the spot when I want something savoury. This bag…
TheWombatNo, no I don't. But that's okay because it Friyaaaaaaaay! Man, I have been crazy busy for the last few days. School is a lot this semester. But week 2 is almost over so hopefully the rest of the semester will fly by. Today is more of the same--work work…

I've been to orientation three different times. The first was in Hamilton and they changed me to Guelph, so I had to do a second one at Guelph. I progressed until the appointments with the nutritionist, then I had to quit the process. I gathered up my energy and went…

What a wild ride this journey has been. In all the years, I have gained 20 lbs, and am working on getting the rest off. Why the regain? Lack of exercise, sloppy eating habits and putting myself last! In all, these could be excuses I tell myself,so not to feel…

Dr Baranov comes highly recommended. He and his staff were and continue to be detailed, informative and supportive throughout my process. In my opinion Dr Baranov is an advocate for his patients on their journey to a healthier lifestyle.
I had my surgery on March 06,2023, BEST DECISION i have ever made for my health. Never a day of regret. Dr. A and his stuff was top notch professional. The facility was by far the best I’d ever experienced. Each member of his team was very informative about my…
Dr. Alvarez was amazing. I had been watching and keeping up with reviews for quite some time before I took the plunge and scheduled my surgery at the beginning of March of this year. So many reviews I read, all said the same thing "the only thing they regretted was…
Dr. Baranov’s program came highly recommended and I have not been disappointed! Care and attention to detail have been superlative, and his team is available to help with all steps in the process. The surgical experience was so much better than I expected and the aftercare has been manageable and…
I just had my gastric bypass 5/10/2023. I started my journey in Feb of 2023 weighing in at 271 the day of surgery I was 235. I did a lot of research before finding the right doc. I choose Dr Baranov and I’m so glad I did him and his…
