Day before surgery. On clear liquids only. To office for ultrasound of both legs. Purchased multivitamins and calcium from Dr. Barnes’ stash at the Fort Worth office. Headed to PHO place for n Weatherford for a quart of bone broth. Best I have ever eaten! Nothing by mouth at MN. I am excited and a bit anxious about my gastric sleeve tomorrow afternoon. It will be here before I know it!
Much education on this visit-especially up to and including surgery. Ordered an abdominal binder for day of surgery. Began to pack my hospital bag. Will have my final abdominal ultrasound tomorrow morning and surgery on Thursday! I am hungry and I want to eat, but no food choice trumps a gastric sleeve!

Amazing surgeon, follow his instructions and you will be successful.
Dr. Barnes is great and his staff is very friendly and professional. I have and will continue to recommend him to anyone thinking about weight loss surgery.
He's thorough and explains everything to me, he doesn't RUSH my visits to where I forget to ask questions. He's very knowledgeable with the Bariatric WL surgery and after care. His staff is also amazing.
The ladies at the front desk are nice and caring and provide a real personal approach. Dr. Branes is honest and helpful and I feel safe under his care.

The staff is absolutely amazing. I am always greeted warmly and made to feel comfortable. Dr. Barnes explained my options in great detail but also to the point. I can tell that he is passionate about helping patients overcome the ailments that come along with obesity. I can also tell that he is going to hold me accountable in me doing my part to reach my health and body goals.
Dr. Barnes was very informative of the surgery process and took time to explain the possibility of future issues. Thank you.
Almost ready for surgery! Saw Dr. Barnes yesterday and just a few things to get done-all in my control. Great feeling!
Went in for gastric bypass revision. Ended up getting a life changing turn for the best!!! My endo showed ulcers & infection. Dr. Barnes saved my life and changed it for the better! He really & truly cares & has a genuine heart ❤️ I can't recommend him enough!!!
Dr. Barnes and his team are so amazing! Truly changed my life!
Gregory Barnes, MD performs such a detailed lab and physical study when awaiting approval for the gastric sleeve. As testing is returned to his office, Dr. Barnes reviews results, discusses it with me, and assesses if further testing/studies are indicated. The books recommended by the psychologist reinforce teaching from Dr. Barnes. The MA in the office helps with scheduling, high protein meal substitutes, and vitamins in addition to obtaining weight, height, and walking the new patient through.
Dr. Barnes was very thorough. He wanted to make sure he had my entire medical history along with having more tests done to make sure surgery is what I need. I felt that he and his office staff really cared about my situation.
Consultation with Dr. Gregory Barnes was initially to see if I was a candidate for a gastric sleeve. During my medical review and assessment, Dr. Barnes determined that I am a candidate, but also discussed other options. He answered ALL my questions in a very positive manner and expanded our conversation to include pre- and post-op educational needs, nutrition, and expected results. Statistics were quite interesting. The office functions extremely well as a collaboration with great office staff.
Dr. Barnes is great! He gives you so much knowledge that you feel like you’re a weight loss Dr!!
Dr Barnes and staff were amazing throughout my journey and helped guide every step of the way. From the very beginning of the process, they helped me establish goals for making eligibility and setting up timelines for milestones I had to hit such as cutting out alcohol, carbonated beverages, and tobacco use. I had to loose some weight pre-op as well. I started at 325 lbs. I am three years out from the gastric sleeve procedure and am currently 180 lbs
Professional and courteous
