Lee A. Schmitt (COE) Bariatric Surgeon M.D., F.A.C.S.

My life has changed do much since I have lost weight. I have a lot more energy. I am off all the medications I was taking. I have always loved to dance but stopped when I was so overweight. I am now taking ballroom dancing and having a blast. Dr. Schmitt was wonderful. He has so much patients and is so kind. I would definately recommend Dr. Schmitt. His staff is always so nice too.

Dr. Schmitt has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever had and excellant follow up care. He understands the trials his patients undergo before and after weight loss surgery. Dr. Schmitt and his staff uphold the standard of excellance one would only hope to have in considering bariatric surgery. i had dealt with obesity from early childhood and made a life changing decision to have the Lap-Band procedure. SInce surgery in November 2006, I have lost about 200lbs. The Lap-Band system, along with my surgeon Dr. Schmitt, and his team, have helped me lead the life I have always dreamed of.

I am a nurse and have fought being overweight most of my life. I have tried multiple diets and exercise with loss of some weight just to regain it back plus more. I am busy with my occupation and personal life so it has become a challenge and I chose to stop the weight gain. Dr. Schmitt seems understanding of the struggles of obesity and his staff works well to see you thru the guidelines and the steps necessary to acheive your goals.

He has been heaven sent. I have a goal to get off my blood pressure meds, and he has helped me get half way there. The support group meetings are really helpful they help you know what to expect.

I had surgery in 2003 and I have lost 157lbs. Dr. Schmitt is a very patient, concerned doctor. He keeps you informed. I think support group meetings are important to keep you on track.

I was unhappy with the way I looked and I felt horrible. I was always being sick with everything that was catchable. I had no energy to do anything, want to do anything, or go anywhere. Now, 10 weeks out, I feel more human, more energetic than ever before. If I had to do it again I would no questions asked. I look foward to losing more weight and doing more. Dr. Schmitt and his staff are wonderful. When I've needed anything all I did was call and help has been there. Thanks Dr. Schmitt and Staff!!!

I posted several years ago my opinion of Dr. Schmitt - not so positive on the bedside manners. I found it interesting that a few years after surgery his office contacted me via the web to see how I was doing. I was very impressed and am still proud of the work he did for me. As I don't think having a revision will ever be in my future! rnI really do appreciate Dr. Schmitt! And after some of the health issues i've had recently, I know understand why his aftercare program was heavily emphasized! Take your vitamins people!

Dr. Schmitt gives plenty of info to help you make the right decision. He has been truthful with every aspect of the LAP-BAND treatment.

Dr. Schmitt is my sugeon. The first time I met him he was the best. He made me feel like I was a person not just a fat person. He really cares about you and has the best bed side manner. I have referred many people to him and always speak great words about him. He has made this sugery the best thing I've done for myself.

Weight loss surgery was the best thing I ever did. My life is much better as far as activity level and opportunities. Dr. Schmitt is great and awesome!
