For some people who are severely obese, losing weight seems like a distant dream that they can’t make a reality. They have tried and failed to keep weight off, and many suffer comorbid diseases like diabetes or high cholesterol. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S founded Dr. Feiz & Associates to assemble a top-notch team to help qualifying patients with weight loss surgery. People who have a Body Mass Index of 40, or a BMI of 35 with comorbid diseases, might qualify for bariatric procedures like gastric sleeve or Lap Band revision surgery.
Dr. Feiz and his team at Dr. Feiz & Associates want people who have struggled with obesity or severe obesity to get healthy again. Although there are many weight loss options, Dr. Feiz most often discusses the benefits of Lap Band vs. sleeve gastrectomy. These two procedures are both minimally invasive, and have helped the most people lose weight at a healthy pace, slow down or stop comorbid diseases, and return to enjoying their lives. Because Dr. Feiz focused on leading edge procedures during his training as a surgeon, he is uniquely qualified to perform these and other weight loss surgeries. He and his team are also compassionate and understanding, because they have seen how hard it is for so many people to lose weight.
Not only is Dr. Feiz one of the leading specialists in sleeve gastrectomy and Lap Band procedures, he is also one of the few surgeons to specialize in band to sleeve revision. Contact Dr. Feiz & Associates today to set up a consultation, meet Dr. Feiz, and begin your weight loss journey.
