I am now 16 years out and I am now informed that I need to Iron Infusion (x2). I wonder why after 16 years, my iron levels are low. My annual physical revealed I am anemic. I did my Colonoscopy and an Endoscope to rule out a bleeding ulcer in…

Dr Baranov and his staff are excellent! They really listen to you and answer any and all questions. I highly recommend them if you are considering having weight loss surgery!!
Everything was smooth from arrival at the airport, finding my transport. Everyone was nice and attentive. They guide you and answer all questions, the plan is easy to follow. Doctor Ortiz was spectacular, good positive attitude (happy), all nurses and front desk as well. I did not have any pain…
