Surgeon Testimonial

Hans Schmidt, M.D.
A friend of mine had used Dr. Schmidt and highly recommended him....I would also recommend Dr. Schmidt to anyone that is looking to have either a Lap-band or Gastric Bypass surgery.....He answered any questions that i had and put me at ease about the whole process....The aftercare program and the people that work in his office are tremendous and I am extremely thankful that I chose his office.

It has been six weeks since my surgery and I recently went for my first fill....I will admit that I was nervous, I am not afraid of needles but one in my stomach made me a little sketchy...It was nothing to worry about it was a little pinch and it was over in no time.....I lost only one pound the last week bringing my total to 37lbs...I am very excited and happy with my decision to have the surgery

I am a shade under a week away from my first fill and have to say that I am a little nervous....Mostly cause I don't know what to expect from it...I am happy with the progress so far...I have lost 36 lbs. and counting...Hope everyone else is doing well

Well I am a little more than three weeks removed from my surgery and I am proud to say that I have lost 30 lbs...the only real side effect I have had so far has been a little bit of heartburn but no nausea....So far I am happy with my decision to have surgery and wish everyone else that has had it the best of luck on their journey....
