Success Stories
Every success story has our entire team behind them at every step of their journey - from consultations to recovery and beyond. Here are a just few of our patient successes…in their own words.
Jessica's Story
Jessica successfully raised three wonderful children, and like many parents, she found it challenging to balance her personal lifestyle, health, and fitness during that time. Now that her kids are older, she believes it’s the ideal moment to prioritize herself and her health, leading her to choose bariatric surgery. Five years after the procedure, Jessica walks 3 to 5 miles daily. “I feel incredible, and I’m so pleased I made this decision. Dr. Baranov is outstanding. He’s knowledgeable, creates a personalized care plan, and genuinely listens to you” Jessica says. “Why travel for bariatric surgery when there's an excellent surgeon right here in Saratoga Springs?”

Vince's Story
Gastric bypass patient Vince said he knew something needed to change when he began missing out on amazing life experiences.
"I wanted to go on a helicopter ride and the guy said I was too big. Horseback riding–too big," he said. "There were so many examples of what I couldn’t do when I was 300-plus pounds."
Vince was on medication for high blood pressure and had tried losing weight in the past to little effect.
"I had friends who’d been to Dr. Baranov with great success," he said. "I’d been to the information seminar and he was very thorough and detailed."
Vince made his decision to get gastric bypass surgery after the seminar.
"If you’re scared of the surgery, I understand where you’re coming from–but you’re in great hands," he said. "I have no more health problems and no more blood pressure medication."
Pre-surgery, Vince and his wife had been trying to have a child for years to no avail.
"Five weeks ago I had a new baby boy," he said. "And I’m not saying my surgery was the cause, but it is a cause why we are able to be blessed with him."

Life After Surgery
A well-performed bariatric operation is important to your success, but it is not the only important thing. Acclimating yourself to life after weight loss surgery is another very important part of the process. Making that adjustment sounds easy – what could be easier than feeling fit and healthy?
It turns out, however, that making a smooth transition can be a little tricky, and even the best of us can use the expert coaching that an experienced program can provide.
We understand this. Our interest in your well-being does not stop after the surgery. We’ll be there every step of the way to make sure that you have the tools you need to maximize your success and overall wellness.
We hold support groups on a monthly basis. Support groups are open to all and discussion topics vary.
