Hans Schmidt Bariatric Surgeon MD, FACS

I was very skeptical about having weight loss surgery and after one of my friends had it done by Dr. Schmidt, I said what do I have to lose except for some weight. Dr. Schmidt was wonderful and explained everything to me. He has a great attitude, pleasant and easy to talk to. He met with my family after the surgery and they were very relieved to here everything went well. I had my first visit back at the Dr. Schmidt's office and the staff was wonderful and they even give you a class on how to handle the three stages you need to go through after your surgery. I would recommend Advanced Laproscopic Associates to anyone who is looking to do this surgery.

Dr. Schmidt was amazing. I'm very happy with my surgery. He and his staff are wonderful.

Love, love, love Dr. Schmidt. From the first time he spoke at one of the seminars, my husband and I decided that we would like Dr. Schmidt to perform my surgery. He has the patience like no other Dr. I know. I changed my decision on what type of surgery I wanted. Dr. Schmidt called me to review all our options again. He never rushed me off the phone or in our office visits. He truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend him to anyone thinking about weight lose surgery. I recently had my 1 month check up, and a few issues. Dr. Schmidt listen to my questions and concerns. Never once did he rush to the door, he took his time with me.
Thank You Dr. Schmidt

He's great - Made me feel super safe and comfortable. His office staff is sem very attentive and caring. they have a great aftercare program. I would recommend him and his office to everyone!

I underwent the Roux-EN-Y Gastric by-pass on August 1st 2011. Just 33 days ago... I was a severe diabetic with sugars at 330 or higher everyday. I took three different oral medications as well as 116 units of insulin every evening to keep the sugars from going any higher than that. My blood pressure was on average 165 / 95 or higher. I took two different oral medications to treat that. I suffered from severe numbness in my hands and feet, lost of vision in my right eye, sleep apnea, and asthma, to mention just a few. I generally felt horrible. I finally decided to take my life back. Just 4 days after the surgery I was off ALL diabetes medications as my sugars balanced out and now run about 95 everyday. Within 3 weeks I was off ALL blood pressure medications (now running 114/75 at a max). I no longer have trouble breathing at night and have already lost 31 lbs. I feel my body coming alive again. If i could say one thing to anyone out there thinking about undergoing this surgery... when we are sick, we do not live the life we should. TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE!!!

Dr. Schmidt is the best. He and his office have guided me on this journey so far. He is kind, smart and really cares about his patients and their health. He is not looking for the $$$, he wants us to be health and enjoy life. The office provides a well rounded aray of services for both pre and post op varying from general advice to nutritional help. Hackensack Hospital was terrific too.

IT IS A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE! One you deserve as much as I did! Go talk to Dr. Schmidt about what surgery could do for you! It could very well be the best decision you ever make!

My first impression of Dr. Schmidt was that he seem to be a very professional and out spoken person about the surgery he preforms and gives you a sense that you are in the right place. He really knew what he was taking about and keep it real with the good and risk of surgery. The awards in this office also makes you feel like he is the person to pick for your surgery. He is great takes his time to speak to you and answer any question you have. I was very impress and still post op I am very happy with the level of professionalism of his care.

His office staff is GREAT from the girls in the office to my assign coordinator Michelle. I was very please. I have to negative about this whole team they gave me what I expected and more.

The hospital care provided is the best. It is like you have a personal assistant 24-7 for you and all your needs. The instruction given to me when it was time to go home was very informative. I am please to have pick the correct person. THANK YOU DR. SCHMIDT :)

Dear Dr. Schmidt:

Thanks to your seminar and Janice VillaRosa, I am so glad I finally decided to go along and have the Realize band. I had the surgery on April 4, 2011 and have lost a total of 50 pounds as of July 20th. JAnice has been an angel not only to me but also to my sister, who had the surgery on the same day, and as promised she has been there for us from the first day going in and coming out the surgery also in the recovery room. She is undoubtedly our angel as well as yourself.
I KNOW she is an asset to your office in every sense of the word. I can call and count on her 24/7.
If I am not sure about anything I call her and she reinforces me.
I again want to thank you an Janice for gfiving me back my life....

Dr. Hans Schmidt had done my Sleeve Surgery on July 12th. I am the type of patient that is unlike any other patient. I explained that my stomach gets very upset before surgery from nerves and the anxiety plus the anesthesia and when I wake up I am very sick to my stomach. Dr. Schmidt had the anesthesiologist put a patch behind my ear (like the ones you wear for sea sickness) before surgery and then show me in the operation room that he had 2 meds feeding thru my IV for it as well and will continue in my IV until I was discharged. You see I am an Acid Reflux /IBS patient so upset stomachs is an everyday occurance and worse during surgery. Thanks to Dr. Schmidt and his team at Hackensack I only woke up feeling a little upset in the stomach and have been fine ever since. Thanks for listening to me and taking my word. Kudos to you all.

Dr. Schmidt was patient as I decided which surgery was right for me. His staff (Louisa) was more than patient as I went through many changes and insurance issues. My surgery was quick and without issue. At 2 weeks out I have lost 15 lbs. The post surgery seminar was the most informative process with a nurse who went through the procedure. The tips and expectations were invaluable. Meeting other surgery patients helped to not feel alone. I don't know what other surgeons due post operative but my experience with Dr. Schmidt and his staff has made all the difference in a successful surgical process.

Dr Schmidt put me at ease. The morning of my surgery was a blizzard. I really wanted to have it and further did not want to dig out only to go to the hospital and be canceled. I called Dr Schmidt at 4am...yes 4 am and he was gracious, understanding, and kind. He offered to come in and do it. Although, I never did make it that day, I had the surgery and have lost 30 lbs in 3 weeks. Gifted surgeon and a great guy!
