Weight Loss Surgery in NJ with Dr. Schmidt
When I saw the weight-loss results that were possible and the potential they had to change people’s lives, I knew I wanted to make bariatric surgery the focus of our practice.- Hans Schmidt, MD, FACS
Dr. Schmidt and his team at Advanced Laparoscopic Associates feel that an emphasis on patient education and aftercare support is essential. They have developed a gold standard, a comprehensive program that focuses strongly on personalized care, postoperative nutrition, and lifestyle changes. They have found that the patient’s who are most successful long-term are those who fully understand the risks and benefits of weight loss surgery and are educated as to how to best use the new tool they have been given.
Dr. Schmidt performs the Lap-Band, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG), the Roux-en-Y (RNY), and weight loss surgery revisions. He and his colleague Dr. Douglas Ewing were the first surgeons in the state of New Jersey to perform the Orbera Intragastric Balloon, which is a specialized, non-surgical technique.
