I sleeved on 2/2/2015. My surgeon was Dr. Kacmarski. I have been very happy with him. He has been willing to answer all of my questions. I never feel rushed. Even better I had an uneventful surgery and recovery so far.

I was inpatient at Barix Clinic. I was the only patient on that floor. I had 2 full RN's to myself. both night and day. Most of these nurses had 10+ years at this facility and two had 26 years of nursing. They were good at keeping me informed of what to expect. They were patient. They pushed me when I needed to be pushed.

It is a shame that the owners prefer to not advertise. Apparently they used to be constantly full. Now not so much. A number of the local big name hospital now have bariatric programs. Lots of ads on the radio.

I chose Barix Clinic since they only do the Bariatric surgeries for the inpatient stays. No sick people to pick up germs from. The staff has years of experience. They know what is normal for a bariatric patient and what is not. While I appreciated the dedicated attention it was a shame to see such a nice facility under utilized.

My only complaint was no Wi-Fi. If I watched TV I would not have been happy with the size of the TVs or the channel selections. I didn't turn it one once so not an issue for me.

@@NikkiDoc I am up in the air about 2 doctors. Barix clinic is one. I started the process with another but barix is closer to my home.

I had a hysterectomy in 2010 and had issues and was back in hospital which scares me a litte. One reason why i am leaving toward barix. Less chance of infection.

Did you get a choice between which doctor you got at barix? How long was the processs? Almost all my testing is done and have pysc evaluation on Monday and sleep study Thursday.

I started with the other doctor in September, just started with barix this month. I am excited and because I am only 36 bmi was high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Afraid of being denied.
