Sleeve gastrectomy surgery could be your ticket out of obesity and into “one-derland,” where you are in the one-hundred pound range for the first time in years. Many prospective patients of Dr. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S., think this goal is unachievable, and even wonder whether they stand to benefit from gastric sleeve or lap band surgery after many failed attempts to lose weight in the past. What makes weight loss surgery different is that your digestive system is literally altered, so you can lose weight more easily as this tool provides you with the needed resources to get your mind off food and focused on more important things in life that help you live a more fulfilling existence where your stomach doesn’t control your life.

Part of what gastric sleeve surgery in Rancho Cucamonga entails, in fact, is the removal of a segment of the stomach which produces what Dr. Feiz refers to as “the hunger hormone,” or ghrelin. Ghrelin is a natural hormone the stomach emits when we feel hunger, which is only satisfied when we eat and then leptin is emitted, alleviating the hunger pangs. With this drastic reduction in ghrelin production, patients lose weight much more easily than if they were to try to lose weight on their own. Likewise, cravings are drastically reduced, as well, and then they can focus on losing weight at a steady pace and kick their weight problem to the side for good.
