I have a date to get sleeved with Dr. Schmitt in Jan, I have already had a consultation. The insurance was the worst with requirements and waiting. I was hoping to have this done last year, but here we are

Best decision I’ve ever made!
Seeing Dr. Lee Schmitt at Alabama WLS was the best decision I could have made. I’m only 2 months post-op but the changes are astounding and the surgery was a breeze. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t an easy fix, you have to work at it every day, but it is so worth it. In my mid twenties, standing 5’8” tall, and weighing 313 lbs, I knew I needed to act. I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me!

Tried EVERYTHING and Couldn't Lose the Weight. GASTRIC BYPASS Was my Magic Tool! - Trussville, AL
Like most that consider RNY Gastric bypass, I had tried every diet you could imagine and could not lose the weight. The main cause was I didn't have the will power to stick to it. I felt like when I dieted I was starving all the time! After going through all the procedures for insurance to cover my surgery, I finally had it done in June of 2004. I checked into the hospital weighing 382.2 and NO LIE when I left 2 days later I had already lost 20 lbs. I know, I know..that's not

Life Saver - Birmingham, AL
Dr Scmitt has saved my life. I am 41 and was headed down hill fast. I injured my back about 3yrs ago and as a result I gained even more weight due to inactivity. I was around 520lbs 3 1/2 months ago and now I just hit 399 on my scale and planning on hitting 300 within the first year. Surgery isn't for everyone but it wasn't even a choice for me. I could probably die within 5yrs and leave wife with our 4yr old alone or have the surgery. Dr Schmitt and his staff are great. The

Love my VSG (Verticle Sleeve) - No Regrets - Birmingham, AL
I am only 5 days post op from my VSG surgery. My husband took time to do much research on what surgeon and/or hospital to use. First of all St. Vincent East in Birmingham is by far the best hospital I have ever been to. The staff is so passionate and caring. They truly treat you as a patient which I have never experienced at this level at any other Hospital. This review however is focusing on the surgeon, Dr. Schmitt. To put this as brief as possible. When Dr. Schmitt walks into

28 Year Old Wanting a New Life - Birmingham, AL
Dr. Schmidt and his staff are wonderful with their help. Dr. Schmidt talked with me from the very beginning, giving me the pros and cons for surgery. He eased my mind on all issues. Even during surgery, he made me calm and took away all nervousness. After surgery he and his staff have taken care of all issues and concerns! Thank you Dr. Schmidt for everything you have done for me in giving me a new life!

Dr. Schmitt - Birmingham, AL
I am currently 7 months post-op and I have lost 100 pounds. That alone should be enough for a 5 star rating! I not only have seen success from the surgery Dr. Schmitt provided, I have also received great personal care throughout the entire process. From the initial visit with him as my surgeon he explained in detail the process and follow up. I have never felt like I was in the dark about any part of the journey. When I had questions they were answered promptly. Dr. Schmitt

Gastric bypass was the best decision I have ever made! Starting weight: 280lbs Lowest Weight: 132lbs Current Weight: 155lbs I would highly recommend Dr. Schmitt to anyone seeking a bariatric surgeon.
