Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S., is an expert in weight loss solutions who is commonly sought by those who are curious about the differences between Lap Band vs. gastric sleeve surgery and other bariatric surgeries. This is due in large part to his success as the lead surgeon at his Beverly Hills-based practice Dr. Feiz and Associates, as well as his exceptional education and training.

Prior to beginning his current practice, Dr. Feiz completed his internship and residency in surgery at the renowned L.A. County USC Medical Center. From there, he performed his fellowship work at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, where he received specialized training in both Bariatric and Minimally Invasive Surgery. Today, Dr. Feiz is an active member of the American Society for Bariatric Surgeons and the American College of Surgeons with experience performing complex procedures like sleeve gastrectomy after Lap Band and other revision treatments.

Lap Band to sleeve revision and similar procedures are designed to undo the work of a lesser surgeon in performing a bariatric surgery that led to complications or unsatisfying results. From there, Dr. Feiz will perform a different bariatric surgery, such as a permanent sleeve gastrectomy, offering patients a second chance to enjoy the benefits for safe, rapid, sustainable weight loss.

The issues that arise from obesity are very real, and include diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, arthritis, endocrine disorders and other problems. With bariatric weight loss solutions, though, Dr. Feiz can offer those who are suffering a second chance at a long, healthy, happy life.
