Barix Clinic/ Groveport Ohio



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any direct experience with the Barix Clinic in Groveport, Ohio? My insurance doesn't cover WLS and i am self paying for the Band.

From what I understand, Barix has only been doing the Band since this summer. So whether you're one of the few who has gotten the Band there or you had gastric bypass I would like to hear about your experience with the clinic.

Thanks

I hope to be a loser soon!!!

I just met with Dr. Schram at Barix in Ypsi. I was told he travels between both clinics. He said he has done about 80 bands and over a thousand By-Pass surgeries. He said he has never lost a patient on either surgery. He told me that self-pay would be $15,500 (I believe). Have you read the posts by Dr. Pleatman. I believe he charges $12,500 and that includes fills for 2 years. I am from OH and Ypsi is very close. Pleatman is in MI too but I do not know how exactly where. There are a lot of positive comments about him and he actually posts on this site. If I have to self-pay the $3000 would sure make a difference to me.

Good Luck

Sandy

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
