I was using a cane and a walker before sugery. Since surgery I no longer have to do that. Dr. Lee Schmitt is kind and takes his time with you. You feel very safe in his care. He has been my Doctor for eight years and did my surgery. The support group meetings were key in helping me to make my mind up. Everyone there was kind and covered every question I had and more. Dr. Schmitt is the best surgeon I have ever had and I have had many operations due to other medical conditons before my weight loss surgery. I should have had weight loss surgery years earlier.
I have spent my whole life battling weight gain until i finally gave up and ballooned to 250lbs. Adjustable Gastric Band surgery has saved my life. Now i am truly losing weight and exercising like I should. Dr. Schmitt is a great surgeon. I have not had one problem with my band, It has been a year since my surgery. His nurses are the greatest!
At 50 years old and 360lbs everything was beginning to hurt and movement was becoming painful. I researched the Gastric Band procedure and decided it was time for a life change. Five weeks post surgery and 48lbs lighter, I know i made the right decision. Dr. Schmitt and his staff have been very helpful. They made sure I knew every aspect of the pre and post op expectations and they have made my transition very easy.
I am a 49 year old male and have been morbidly obese for over 10 years. I decided to become more active in my life and needed to loose the weight to accomplish this task. I am looking forward to a new active life. Dr. Schmitt has provided good information to make the decision to have surgery. I look foeward to a long term relationship as a result of the surgery.
