Hi there, I was sleeved by Dr. Schmidt as well. I called him Dr. Rockstar in the hospital, lol. He's the head of bariatric surgery at Hackensack so I felt comfortable going to him. In addition, when I was asking about complications, his numbers were much lower than average. They use three staples on the staple line instead of two.

I am three days post-op with one of Dr Schmidt's partners, Dr Richard Novack. I've got nothing but great things to say about the doctor and the practice.

No complications so far. I'll keep you informed.

Ragui W. Sadek and Michael Donaire team, had surgery on the 9th, was cooking and walking around on the 10th, no pain no discomfort, followed up instructions was at work 2 weeks after surgery. Excellent Team and office stuff is beyond A+ , I recommend anyone who is thinking about it go there you won't regret it
