Methodist Weight Management Institute Hospital
Dr. Barnes is a great doctor. I honestly can't think of a negative thing to say about him. I had complete trust in him for my surgery, and his bedside manner is good as well. Of course, had I not had a \"peace\" about having the surgery, I wouldn't have. He asnwered all of my questions about the surgery. I was a little nervous about getting STAFF infection...my husband did last year at another hospital (back surgery).My life was on the line, and I had to believe that all would be well for my own mental well-being. I've had 2 strokes in the past (37 years old), so he was very straight forward about the risks of surgery. He was very adament about the liquid diet before the surgery, as well as the liquid diet after the surgery. The \"before\" diet was VERY HARD, but I did it perfectly. I'm now eating solid foods, and haven't been sick at all. Dr. Barnes has also talked with me about the aftercare program, and I feel totally comfortable calling the office with any questions that I might have. He encourages you to call if you have a question. I'm looking forward to going to the classes as well.
