Type 2 diabetes has become so common that many of us have begun to accept it as a fact of life – just another chronic condition suffered by many. It is, however, a serious illness with potentially devastating consequences both for the length and the quality of life. Especially in combination with high blood pressure, it can devastate a range of crucial organs, including the heart and kidneys. Fortunately, through the work of such outstanding weight loss physicians as Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S., and such leading edge procedures as the gastric sleeve and lap band, more and more severely obese patients are not just reversing their obesity, but also often finding that their type 2 diabetes has gone into an indefinite remission.

With locations throughout Southern California, Dr. Feiz and Associates has helped innumerable patients. One of the world's most respected bariatric surgeons, Dr. Feiz has become known as the physician for a lap band, gastric bypass, and sleeve gastrectomy Carson, Valencia, Beverly Hills, Rancho Cucamonga, Huntington Beach, and all of Greater Los Angeles and Orange County turn to first.

A leading expert in the minimally invasive techniques now used for nearly all weight loss operations, Dr. Feiz and his excellent medical staff are one of the best resources severely obese patients can turn to for information about such important information as the relative pros and cons of lap band vs gastric sleeve operations. A free seminar at one of the offices of Dr. Feiz and Associates is an outstanding way to chart a new course into a healthier, happier way of life – free of the twin diseases of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
