The key to significant and permanent weight loss is making permanent changes in eating habits – but it's not nearly as simple as that. Thankfully, such proven bariatric procedures as sleeve gastrectomy and lap band really can bring the necessary lifestyle changes within reach of the large majority of patients. Leading board certified weight loss surgeon Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S. is here to help by providing the kind of outstanding and thoughtful medical care needed to help severely obese people develop the new lifestyle they need to move on to a new life.

The problem with conventional approaches to weight loss is that, the moment we begin to lose weight, our body starts to send messages to our brain telling us to overeat. Fortunately, a bariatric surgery can short-circuit that biological program by radically reducing the way our body absorbs food and, along with it, our appetite. Thus, a lap band or sleeve gastrectomy in Carson, Huntington Beach, Rancho Cucamonga, Valencia, Beverly Hills or any of the other Southern California locations of Dr. Feiz and Associates can make it vastly easier to do what we've been trying to do all along: lose weight via a new lifestyle built around the sensible plan of eating less and exercising more.

If you are seriously interested in learning how bariatric procedures can help you make the important changes you need to make in order to lose weight, then your next step should be to participate in one of the free seminars being offered by Dr. Feiz and Associates. From such topics as the pros and cons of lap band vs gastric sleeve procedures, to whether or not an individual may be a good candidate for a weight loss surgery, these seminars may be the best first step there is on the road to a new life and a new lifestyle.
