Need Advice or info about Dr Steven C. Poplawski

Hi all, I'm new here and wanted to know if anyone knows or has any advice or information good or bad about Dr Steven C. Poplawski? I'm looking at getting the Sleeve, but have many health concerns and I want to make sure the doctor is a good one. Thanks, Nancy

I love Dr. Dr Pop  he is a master with the wand.   lol

Thank you for your reply, lol. He did your RNY did you have any complications or was it smooth sailing? I'm a bit nervous cos I don't know how many sleeves he has done, and I don't want to go to Mexico or to far out to have this done. I can only travel about 4 hours total a day due to my health problems, and flying is not an option, lol. Thank again for taking the time to reply to me, Mary

Hi, Dr. Pop did my lap rny on Aug. 2, 2007, I'm in my 10 mos. post op and I've had no problems at all.  He's a true wizard!  This man saved my life.  I researched and grilled the H--- out of the man.  He's TOP NOTCH!! He won't touch you if he thought he couldn't do it.  He's very straight forward & honest!  He was a former liver transplant surgeon and that is the hardest organ to transplant.  After a year of research I'm completely confident that if you're in his hands you are in the VERY BEST of hands!  I the man!!  I can't wait for him to see me and the transformation I went through!  He's a true hero in my book!  Good Luck and go for it! ~Hugs, Steffanie

Wow, a liver transplant doctor, wow, I'm impressed. Thank you for the information. I was nervous, cos he has only done a few (as far as I know) Sleeve's which is the 1st part of a DS and with all my health problems, it is a concern. I can't have an open op, unless there is no other choice, (my doctors orders). I was thinking of seeing Dr Lutrzykowski as this is his specialty, but he only does the open operation. I was told Dr Pop was fantastic, but again, he did only RNY, but when I contacted his office, they said no, he does the Sleeve as well, but can't say how many he has done, so I thought why not check him out. So that is why I'm asking questions. I'm to see him shortly in MI and well, I guess I will find out. I would feel better know more about him, especially if he did the sleeve and had alot of patience out there saying hey he did me, lol. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to tell me. Hugs, Nancy

Hi Nancy, I think Dr. Pop is great!  I found out later that he assisted with my surgery 4 1/2 years ago.  He was the surgeon who took care of me last June when I had my bowel obstruction.  He is awesome - you will love him. Best of luck to you! Carey

Thank you Carey, it was very sweet of you to write me and tell me about Dr Pop and your experience. I really do appreciate it. Everyone who has responded have been super great. Thanks, Nancy

Hi Nancy I had Lap RNY with Dr. Pop on Sept 27, 2005. I've lost a total of 145lbs. haven't had any compications well just gas!! Gas x takes care of that!! He's very good, straight forward and I owe my happy life to him and all wonderful staff at Barix. It will be 3yrs out  for me in Sept and I haven't gained any of the weight back.
