Struggling with obesity is not a matter of worrying whether or not the latest fashions will look good. People who struggle with obesity have the potential to develop several health problems due to being that overweight. These comorbid diseases include heart disease, stroke, diabetes, joint pain or arthritis, and even depression and fertility problems. Unfortunately, people who have struggled with obesity for years know how hard it is to keep weight off. That’s why Dr. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S. founded Dr. Feiz & Associates – he and his compassionate team know that their patients need weight loss surgery after going through years of struggle, so they offer caring consultations and incredible post-surgical support to ensure their patients meet their health goals. If you seek a Lap Band consultation or want sleeve gastrectomy, Los Angeles-based Dr. Feiz & Associates are here for you. 

Dr. Feiz even offers a specialized weight loss surgery referred to as a band to sleeve revision. Overwhelmingly, patients who choose the Lap Band experience great weight loss success. However, everyone’s body is different, and some rare patients do not respond to Lap Bands very well. For Dr. Feiz, this indicates that the patient might respond better to gastric sleeve, in which the stomach is made permanently smaller.

If you are considering sleeve gastrectomy after Lap Band, contact Dr. Feiz today. Regardless of the reason for your revision surgery, Dr. Feiz understands your situation and has extensive training to ensure your weight loss success. He and his team also help patients with a variety of other bariatric surgery procedures, so contact them today.
