Aleembran, Can you please tell me what you had to do such as testing..I would like to get as much done as possible..When did you start your journey with Barix Clinic? How long from start to surgery?? Im sooooo anxious to get my life back..

I started my consultation on July 12th. I needed a psych eval, blood work and a upper GI series. Everything was then turned in to my insurance I got approved in 2 days. Then everything was signed off by my dr and within a week I had my surgery date.

Met with surgeon in July and had my date in August.

Met my new surgeon, Dr. Marymor today. I am soooo EXCITED!!! The entire staff from the receptionist to the medical assistant to the nutritionist and of course the doctorwere soooo welcoming. I felt really at home. The doctor is very straight forward. Explained everything and answered all my questions. I had 98% of the required tests already done so I just need an upper GI and an H. Pylori screen which are scheduled for next week. Then its submission to insurance. I cant beleive how thorough and experienced he is!! I am soooo glad I chose to change surgeons. I am very greatful for the replies I have received to my different posts. Dr. marymor said once he receives my results fr the last 2 tests, I will be scheduled for surgery in 4-6 weeks!! YAY!!!! I want to live again soooo bad instead of merely existing..

Congrats!!! Dr Marymore is great ! I had to take those test also its a breeze. Once he receives everything it's going take way less than 4-6 weeks! he received all my test results on a Monday I was scheduled for surgery on fri!!! So you will have your life back before you know it:)))))

Had mine at barix in Michigan with Dr Pop. The nice thing about barix is that its all they do. You get an awesome book with recipes and a bunch of other great info, nutrition counseling, etc. They pretty much let me dictate the speed of the process. They also scheduled my surgery at a specific date that I needed because I had a small window to get it done, and they made it work

Thanks for the reply Justin. 'm so desperate to live again. All I do is go to work and stay in my house. People say I dont need the surgery but they are not me. I'm a hermit right now and at 43 yrs old I dont want to keep doing this. I cant wait to get these 2 final tests completed. Luckily I'm a medical assistant so I draw my own blood. lol.. and thurs I get the upper gi so I should have everything into Dr. Marymor by Friday. He said I needed to do a 10 day pre-op diet but I can have Jello and sugar free popsicles. I love bot of these item so the 10 days wont bother me. I want to get to 125. Im 239 right now. sleeping with the cpap is great but Im tired of it and its not sexy when I just got married 1 yr ago. So I look forward to joining the land of the living again.

Fred, you are in good hands with Dr. Pop. He's done thousands of bariatric surgeries--it's all he ever does. He took good care of me and I haven't had any complications. Except that I have to keep changing my wardrobe because my waist is shrinking so fast!

I am going to be sleeved at Barix in Langhorne. I just sent over my insurance approval letter. I am making the drive from Baltimore Maryland (2 hour drive) I am worried and nervous. My husband will be with me the day of surgery, then is going home until I am released. I am just wondering how long is the stay? Are the rooms private? Can my hubby stay if I need him? Any information would be wonderful!!! Thanks!
