Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the U.S. In fact, over one-third of US adults are considered obese. For people who struggle with severe obesity especially, losing weight is not a matter of looking good to fit a standard of beauty – it is about saving their own lives. Being very obese puts a person at risk of developing comorbid diseases like diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis, high cholesterol, and even depression. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S founded his bariatric surgery practice, Dr. Feiz & Associates, specifically to help people who struggle with severe obesity, so that they can fight off health threats with the help of Lap Band, gastric sleeve, or even band to sleeve revision procedures.
Many patients come to Dr. Feiz with questions about the benefits of Lap Band vs. sleeve gastrectomy. These are the two most popular, and least invasive, types of weight loss surgery, but Dr. Feiz will make sure that you understand all of your weight loss surgery options before making a final decision. He knows how important it is for patients to be involved in their health care decisions – people who are invested in their health make better long-term choices. This means that Dr. Feiz’s patients have experienced great outcomes after their weight loss surgery. You can read testimonies from his happy former patients on this website.
Whether you need Lap Band revision surgery or just have questions about your bariatric surgery options, Dr. Feiz & Associates care about helping you get healthy to become your best, happiest self.
