The Most Trusted Surgical Center in Birmingham, AL

And that’s the point.

Something brought you here. Maybe you’ve spent years trying to manage your weight on your own, and nothing stuck. Maybe your body gave you a health scare you couldn’t ignore. Whatever it is, you’re not here because you failed; you’re here because you’re ready for help that’s equal to what you’re facing.

At BMI Surgery, we understand how much courage that takes. Our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Long, offers weight loss surgery and general surgery, all designed around you. Regardless of what you’re here for, it’s always the same outcome: minimally invasive procedures, a surgeon who takes time to listen, and results you’re happy with.

Weight Loss Surgery

Bariatric surgery is specifically designed for those who are morbidly obese — typically a BMI of 30 or higher — and for whom diet and lifestyle changes haven’t been enough. It’s a medically proven intervention for individuals whose weight is affecting their health, mobility, and quality of life.

If that sounds like you, Dr. Long offers several minimally invasive options: SADI, Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Bypass, LAP-BAND, and the Oberbera Gastric Balloon.
