Sleeve gastrectomy is only $7,990! We have the best price in the nation for outpatient sleeve gastrectomy (if you know of a lower price, let us know and we will match it!) Not only do we have the best price in the nation, we have the best surgeons and the best program. Our surgeons have been performing outpatient sleeve gastrectomy since 2008 and are the country’s leading sleeve gastrectomy surgeons. We have been doing weight loss surgery since 1999 and have done over 11,000 weight loss surgeries since 2012, (that’s when we got electronic medical records that allow us to count our cases). With a price this fair, there is no need to risk going to Mexico for inferior surgery and inferior care with no follow-up. Our all-inclusive price includes life-time follow-up! Our complication rate is so low that we can also offer complication insurance for your financial protection and peace of mind.

Your surgery will be done by the US trained, board-certified, Center of Excellence surgeons of Alabama Weight Loss Surgery, Dr. Schmitt and Dr. Wood. Surgery is performed either at UAB St. Vincent’s East Hospital or Greystone Surgery Center. Both are fully accredited. Outpatient surgery is done at Greystone Surgery Center which is a new surgery facility built from the ground up specifically for bariatric surgery and the unique requirements of obese patients. The board-certified nursing and anesthesia teams are dedicated to bariatric surgery with decades of experience.

When you choose Alabama Weight Loss Surgery, you will consult with your surgeon who will evaluate your suitability for the surgery. Since our patients come from all over the nation, this consultation can be either in person or virtual. Communication is so easy with our surgeons who will listen to your and your family’s concerns and answer all your questions in everyday language and not in medical jargon. At this time, a plan will be developed to ensure that you are in the best condition for the procedure and our staff will then help you on every step of your journey to the operating room. Of course, you will meet your surgeon face-to-face the day before your surgery for final instructions and the famous "before" picture.

The long-term weight loss success enjoyed by our patients depends on knowledge of proper nutrition. Therefore, you will meet with a bariatric nutritionist prior to surgery, either in person or virtually. Written materials are provided so there will be no confusion concerning your preoperative or postoperative diet. Our staff nutritionist is always available to talk to our patients whether they are preop or postop.

Complications are rare, but when your surgery is done with us, you have the option to protect against the costs that may arise from diagnosing and treating complications. We are able to offer complication protection because our complication rate is so low. If you do your research and choose to have surgery elsewhere, at least choose a surgeon who can offer complication insurance!

While your surgery is a one-day outpatient affair, we will be your weight-loss partner forever! Don’t trust your health to inferior surgeons. You can afford the best.

Benefits of Self-Pay:

  • You can have the surgery with a lower BMI. Insurance never pays for weight-loss surgery if the BMI is less than 35. With self-pay, you can have sleeve gastrectomy with a BMI as low as 30.
  • No long wait for your surgery. Let's face it, your insurance company wants to collect your monthly premiums but does not want to pay for your healthcare. Therefore they establish numerous burdensome and usually silly and useless requirements that you must fulfill before they will pay for your surgery. For example, currently Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama requires you to complete a seven-month diet attempt under the supervision of your doctor before they will pay. Don't want to deal with the long wait and other insurance hassles? Consider private pay.
  • No minimum age requirement. Almost no insurance will pay for weight-loss surgery for patients under the age of 18. This is unfortunate because the surgery is safe for adolescents and it works. We have operated on dozens of such patients and we can help you too.
