If you are severely obese, and have struggled for years to lose weight, Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S can help you. He founded Dr. Feiz & Associates to offer his skills with a caring, knowledgeable team to help people like you lose weight through bariatric surgery. He boasts years of training and experience with a wide variety of weight loss procedures, including Lap Band revision surgery, to help people lose weight and get healthy again.

Although Dr. Feiz has helped many patients with the Lap Band device, there are some rare cases when a person does not lose as much weight as they need to with this procedure. Sometimes, a surgeon can install the Lap Band too loosely, so the patient’s stomach is not shrunk small enough. In some cases, the surgeon can overly tighten the band, causing pain and acid reflux. The good news is that Dr. Feiz can correct these mistakes, since he is an expert in band to sleeve revision surgery. With this procedure, the band is removed, and then Dr. Feiz performs the gastric sleeve procedure to permanently reduce the size of the stomach. In the vast majority of cases, the patient is healthier, and continues to lose weight.

If you need a Lap Band revision procedure, or simply have questions about the benefits of Lap Band vs. sleeve gastrectomy, contact Dr. Feiz & Associates today to set up your consultation. Dr. Feiz makes sure all of his patients know their options, so they can make the best choice of weight loss surgery for their body.
