For many of the two-thirds of American adults who are considered overweight or obese, reaching a healthy weight seems like a simple matter of eating less and exercising a little more. However, six percent of American adults are severely obese, meaning they have a BMI of 40 or greater. These people have often tried diet and exercise changes to lose weight, but they have not been successful. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S., founded Dr. Feiz & Associates to help qualifying patients who are severely obese lose weight quickly, and keep it off for good. Weight loss surgery like Lap Band or band to sleeve revision is often the only way for severely obese people to reach a healthy weight.

Dr. Feiz has extensive training and experience as a bariatric surgeon, and is one of the most well-respected weight loss surgeons in the country. Dr. Feiz & Associates is conveniently located in Beverly Hills, so that patients who need weight loss surgery like the sleeve gastrectomy in Los Angeles can easily set up an appointment. Dr. Feiz will make sure his new patients are well-informed about their weight loss surgery options, because an educated patient will be invested in their health in the long term.

As a leading weight loss surgeon, Dr. Feiz not only understands the Lap Band and gastric sleeve procedures, but is also one of the few qualified weight loss surgeons who can perform sleeve gastrectomy after Lap Band. This surgery removes a Lap Band that does not function properly, then forms the stomach into a permanently smaller “sleeve.” Contact Dr. Feiz & Associates to set up an appointment to get your questions answered.
