If you have a body mass index of 40 or greater or 35 or greater with related health problem, then you know how hard it is to lose enough weight to feel healthy. Being severely obese can lead diabetes, heart disease, joint pain, and even depression. For those with a qualifying BMI, however, Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S., can help. He founded Dr. Feiz & Associates so that severely obese people struggling to lose weight can get help like the sleeve gastrectomy in Los Angeles. Dr. Feiz helps patients reach a healthy weight, and stay there.

There are many kinds of bariatric procedures, and as one of the most experienced weight loss surgeons on the West Coast, Dr. Feiz knows that no one single procedure will not suit every single patient. One of the first things Dr. Feiz will do with new patients, at the very first appointment, is discuss their history and their weight loss goals. He wants to get to know his patients’ health history, so he can recommend procedures that will suit their needs the best. It’s never a one-size fits all situation. Because of this, Dr. Feiz is also a leading specialist in sleeve gastrectomy after Lap Band – for patients who do not receive the full benefits of the Lap Band, a gastric sleeve can help.

Whether you need a band to sleeve revision to continue losing weight, or you believe you qualify for weight loss surgery and need to discuss your options, Dr. Feiz and his compassionate team at Dr. Feiz & Associates are here for you.
