Saratoga Bariatric Surgery & Weight Loss Program Bariatric Center

I was struggling with my weight since I was 20. At 6'4", everyone told me I am a "big guy" and I look fine. I did not feel fine. No energy, getting depressed, severe sleep apnea, high blood-pressure. I was 300lbs and gaining until I finally topped out at 365lbs. At 39 years old, I needed help.

I decided to attend one of Dr. Baranov's informational seminars and I was instantly impressed. Not only is Dr. Baranov the most professional and qualified surgeon I have ever met, he was genuinely interested in helping those with weight problems. He took my case, and within a few weeks my surgery was scheduled. I never looked back.

I had no complications, issues or problems. I followed the diet to the letter. I drank the water, took the vitamins, and avoided problem foods. If I slipped up, my body told me and it only takes being severely nauseous a few times before you learn.

Dr. Baranov and his staff were the most professional and kind people I have ever met. They are doing great work and their success rate proves it.

Today, I am 195lbs, have zero health problems, and feel better than i ever have. All thanks to Dr. Baranov and his team.

I cannot thank Dr. Baranov and his team enough. I feel that I was well prepared for what to expect, between the medical staff and Dr. Baranov's information and the support group that they host and the handouts I felt very informed for the before during and after surgery! The best birthday present I could ever give myself. Wish I had done it sooner! Dr. Baranov and his team are there when you have questions or concerns.

Thank you so much to you and your staff for everything you have done and continue to do for me. You have literally given me back something no one else could and that is ME. I can’t thank you enough for instilling me with the proper knowledge I needed going forward so I could be successful in your program and achieve my goals even surpassing !

the whole team was always friendly and walked you through the process. Dr. Baranov was awesome and even called to check on me after I was home. if you are thinking about this surgery, I would encourage you to attend one of his seminars.

First thing I learned from Dr. Baranov’s seminar and speaking with him is you have to be ready to make this life changing choice.
So being I am over weight and numerous failed weight loss attempts with
high blood pressure,sleep apnoea and heading into the worsts shape I’ve ever been in , I realized I had to make a drastic change if I wanted to live a beneficial life for my family. So with Dr Baranov’s team and support we did it ! Now it’s only been a week since my surgery I already feel better than I have in years and I’m confident that it’s going to get better every day for the rest of my life. Thank you Dr Baranov and you team for helping me plan for a long and heather life.
God bless you and your team. Truly thankful

I am 26 years old and got the gastric bypass surgery on 9/4/2018. Dr. Baranov is very good at explaining the procedure, life-style changes, and expected goals. He is a surgeon who leaves no room for error. He makes sure that all my questions are answered and explains them in a very understandable manner. I was personally visited by Dr. Baranov several times while recovering to check up on things and never felt rushed while doing so. Dr. Baranov and his staff have been extremely helpful to me in reaching my goals both pre-op and post-op. I would highly recommend Dr. Baranov to anyone curious about weight loss surgery, and especially those looking for an exceptional surgeon.

I am a married mom of 9-year-old twins and a registered nurse. I have been considering weight-loss surgery for years and finally decided to do it when I became a diabetic with sleep apnea. I have known several people who have had bariatric surgery and Dr. Baranov had the best reputation of any of the other surgeons in this area. From the information seminar to the days and weeks following surgery, Dr. Baranov and his staff have been fantastic. Dr. Baranov is a straight shooter and that can rub people the wrong way at times, but he is only telling us what we need to hear to be successful. He genuinely cares about his patients' overall health and post-op success. He encourages his patients to attend the monthly support groups and makes it clear that you will be seeing him every year for the rest of your life to make sure you don't have any nutritional deficits. He calls you himself after surgery, whether it be a weekend of holiday, to make sure all is well. I would choose Dr. Baranov any day of the week to perform my surgery and follow up!

My name is Taylor Jenkins and i recently gad the gastric sleeve preformed by Dr. B , his team at Saratoga Hospital are wonderful I couldn’t have asked for a better team. Dr.Baranov is strict but in a way that will save your life. I am 27 and have a paralyzed diaphragm and having this surgery gives ne a new life. There was no barcotics adminstered and there us no pain that is unbearable just some gas pain I rate Dr. Baranov a 10 out of 10 best sergeon I’ve met awsome team and Dr. Highly recommend

I am an RN who has in the past taken care of bariatric patients. I have worked with multiple bariatric surgeons in the past but I would recommend Dr. Baranov over every single one. His number and success rate speak for their self but he personally is invested in every single case and personally came to see me in the middle of the night when I was not feeling well. His office is compassionate and open. There is a reason he is recommended highly.

Dr. Baranov is one of the most straight forward and caring doctors I have ever meet. My process took me to years to complete and Dr. Baranov and the staff of Saratoga Bariatrics was there every step of the way. My RNY was 8/7/2018 and Dr. Baranov personally visits, calls and monitors your progress in the hospital every step of the way.
