Meet Matt
Initial Weight: 374 lbs
Current Weight: 188 lbs
Matt Lost 186 lbs!

“Having this surgery has completely changed my life. I started at 374 lbs, and now I have lost down to 188lbs. I had gained so much weight and was in so much pain that I had considered taking my life. I was completely miserable. I was at my back doctor, and he was telling me about the back surgery I needed due to having 30+ blocks that no longer worked. Him and I are the same age, and he begged me to consider weight loss surgery. I asked around, and I was referred to Dr. Long… I am now in the best shape I have ever been in. I am able to take my kids hiking and swimming. I can do anything and everything my kids can do too! I can keep up with them all day, and usually, I am the last one standing.”

Why Choose Our Practice?

Unlike many weight loss surgery practices, the physician at Birmingham Minimally Invasive Surgery has specialized training in bariatric surgery. Our surgeon completed a fellowship in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery at The Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas, where he focused on taking care of patients that are morbidly obese. At BMI Surgery, taking care of morbidly obese patients is what we do best, and we have developed significant experience and skill in successfully achieving permanent weight loss for our patients. Our facilities are purpose-built for procedures like gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, LAP-BAND, and Orbera®, and we specialize in making weight loss surgery as painless as possible.

About Dr. Long

After that time, he completed a fellowship in bariatric and minimally invasive surgery at The Methodist Hospital, Houston. He is Board Certified in General Surgery.

Dr. Long provides a one-on-one consultation with all patients to begin their weight loss journey. This helps each individual decide which weight reduction option is best. A multidisciplinary team also provides further advice and reinforcement before and after surgery through monthly support meetings, a nutrition/prep class, and customized high protein diets. Together, these diverse elements ensure adherence to one’s weight loss goals for an improved, healthier life that’s more emotionally fulfilling.

Dr. Jay C. Long, M.D., FACS is the bariatric-trained head surgeon at Birmingham Minimally Invasive Surgery.
