"I made the decision to have the Roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery, after multiple weight loss attempts, that always led to the same result, gaining all of the lost weight back. I attended the virtual seminar and called two days later to setup an office visit. I had my initial office visit on 3/9/21. I met Dr. Baranov and his staff and felt very comfortable with my decision. Through the entire process, everyone I had contact with was very helpful and thorough. I had my Roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery on 5/3/21. I was nervous leading up to the surgery wondering if I was making the right decision. I am so glad I went through with it! Once out of recovery and in my room at Saratoga Hospital, I had very little discomfort. I was told before and after the surgery that the more I walked the better I would feel. I was able to walk 7500 steps that day! Amazing since I just had major surgery. I slept well and was able to get up, take a shower and start walking and concentrating on staying hydrated. I felt amazing! I felt like I could run a marathon, I had so much energy. I took acetaminophen when I got home and when I woke up the next morning, I had no pain other than at the incision sites. The pain was virtually nonexistent! That was 6 days ago and I feel amazing! I have not had to take any acetaminophen since then and have been virtually pain free. I have been able to stay hydrated and follow everything the Dr. has asked, except for one oversight on my part. Dr. Baranov’s office has been in contact with me and even Dr. Baranov called me today, Sunday, 5/9/21, I was not expecting that. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Dr. Baranov, his staff and the staff at Saratoga Hospital. For anyone considering having life changing weight loss surgery, I don’t believe there is anyone more capable and dedicated as Dr. Baranov .
As a side note, there is another bariatric center that is only a third of the distance to Saratoga Bariatrics and all I can say is it was worth all of the extra mileage and travel time to be taken care of by Dr. Baranov!"
