For people who struggle with being severely obese, losing weight isn’t about fitting into a smaller pants size, or about looking good for beach season. Losing weight instead means being able to enjoy life again, without suffering life-threatening comorbid diseases like Type 2 diabetes, heart attack, arthritis, and even some kinds of cancer or a stroke. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S founded Dr. Feiz & Associates to make sure that people who need weight loss surgery have access to a great team of compassionate and knowledgeable people who will support them through the process. Whether you have questions about weight loss surgery, or want to continue your journey with a Lap Band revision surgery, Dr. Feiz and his team are here to help you.

Did you know that losing weight can reduce and even stop comorbid diseases? If you have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic or actual diabetes, and are obese, weight loss surgery can help you reach a healthy weight and improve or, in many cases, end diabetes. When you set up your first appointment with Dr. Feiz, he will first make sure you understand all of your weight loss surgery options. Most patients want to know the benefits of Lap Band vs. sleeve gastrectomy, and while both of these procedures help many patients lose weight, there are other options that might work better for you. Dr. Feiz knows that educated patients make better decisions for themselves, and will get more involved in their own weight loss.

If you need a band to sleeve revision, Dr. Feiz is one of the leading experts in this type of bariatric surgery, as well. Contact Dr. Feiz & Associates for help today.
