If you are severely obese and concerned about your health, you may just be beginning the realize the growing number of options available to you. Traditional weight loss strategies, including reducing your caloric intake and increasing your level of exercise, are extremely sound in theory but difficult in execution. Fortunately, Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S. has made significant weight loss easier for countless patients. These powerful surgical options actually deal with a serious dieter's worst enemy – his or her own appetite. They begin by reducing the available area of the patient's stomach.
Not so long ago, there were only one or two reliable weight loss options, but that is no longer the case. Indeed, the first question many patients have at that point has to do with the whole matter of lap band vs. sleeve gastrectomy procedures. Lap Bands are a popular choice with many patients because they are far less invasive than older procedures, while being both reversible and adjustable. On the other hand, many patients opt for the gastric sleeve because of its outstanding record of producing reliable results. In any case, patients should be aware that more choices exist if the first procedure does not produce the best possible result.
As a master of Lap Band revision surgery, Dr. Feiz has helped countless patients whose initial procedures were handled by other doctors who may not have benefitted from the same skill set as Dr. Feiz. Whether you are interested in exploring an initial weight loss procedure or such procedures as a lap band to sleeve conversion, your best move may very likely be attending a free seminar and personal consultation at the offices of Dr. Feiz and Associates. The doctor and his friendly and supportive staff are looking forward to meeting you.
