Have you been sleeved in Alabama



Recommended Posts

Birmingham AL, Dr Lee Scmitt.....I was sleeved Dec 1st. They have a monthly seminar you have to attend first before making an appointment. They have monthly support groups. The office staff was awesome and the surgery coordinator was very patient with all my questions. They work closely with the nutritionist staff at the hospital. They are a Bariatric Center of Excellance with both the doctor office and hospital. If you are close to this area or willing to travel, (I know someone who came from Huntsville to have surgery done here) and have more questions about his office. Let me know.

I am not sure how many sleeves he has done but he is doing more of these I think then bypass and bands now. I was only in the hospital for one day-insurance approved one day. I was at the hospital 5:30 am for surgery and left the next morning by around 10 am. I was off work for one week-I have a sit down customer service job working from home. They have a website http://www.alabamawls.com/ you can check out. If you want to send me a private message you can email me at kelly.stricker@att.net.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
