Specialties
Birmingham Minimally Invasive Surgery (BMI) is a purpose-built bariatric and general surgery center led by Dr. Jay C. Long, M.D., FACS -- a board-certified, award-winning laparoscopic surgeon with fellowship training in bariatric and minimally invasive surgery. In the field of general surgery, we treat conditions ranging from cancer and gallstones to hernias and inflammation. In addition, we also specialize in performing weight loss surgery for people for whom traditional weight loss techniques, such as diet and exercise, have not been successful. Taking care of morbidly obese patients is what we do best, and we specialize in making weight loss surgery as painless as possible. Using small incisions, a video camera, and advanced instruments, minimally invasive surgery means less pain and faster recovery -- days, not weeks. We offer Gastric Sleeve, Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass, LAP-BAND, the ORBERA® Intragastric Balloon, and Revisional Weight Loss Surgery, backed by one-on-one consultations, monthly support meetings, a nutrition/prep class, customized high-protein diets, and transparent, competitive pricing. We also perform advanced general surgery and CoolSculpting. Serving Birmingham and patients across the Southeast, a more satisfying, happier lifestyle awaits you. Lose weight... Feel Great!
