A lap band or sleeve gastrectomy in Thousand Oaks with Dr. Feiz is, for many severely obese people, equivalent to a miracle. However, though Dr. Feiz' patients they may call their weight loss a miracle, the bariatric surgeon knows that he only gives patients the tool they need to lose weight, along with the counseling they need. The fact is, retraining the body to expect far fewer calories is, in most cases, a very difficult process, especially for those who are very heavy. However, weight loss surgery can essentially make the process a little easier, as the stomach is made smaller, and the result is the signals to the brain that the individual feels hungry is satisfied much sooner.

Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S. is one of the most respected bariatric surgeons anywhere, and has helped countless patients relearn how to eat properly and enjoy every bite rather than rushing through, say, a fast food meal. By eating appropriate amounts, without the constant distraction of feeling hungry, Dr. Feiz' patients can finally eat to live rather than live to eat. Perhaps most importantly, Dr. Feiz provides patients with necessary post-operative counseling and care, so patients can keep the weight off that they lose. His patients' results are consistently outstanding, whether they get gastric sleeve, lap band, or band to sleeve revision.

The best way to learn the finer points of weight loss surgery, such as sleeve gastrectomy after lap band, is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Feiz, or to attend one of his free weight loss seminars. You can learn the pros and cons of lap band vs. gastric sleeve, and much more, by contacting Dr. Feiz's offices.
