This is when many of them will visit a bariatric surgeon about a <a href=\"https:\/\/drfeiz.com\/es\/\" title=\"Banda de vuelta\">lap band<\/a> procedure. The operation, which restricts the amount of food a stomach can hold while making patients feel fuller faster, can have incredible effects. However, sometimes the lap band can be disappointing in a lot of ways that can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">Incorrectly performed lap band surgery. This can lead to pain, discomfort, and the inability to eat more than a few bites at a time.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">Some patients' bodies will reject the lap band outright because it is a foreign object.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">Improper aftercare.

In a meeting or free educational seminar at Dr. Feiz' office, those suffering with a prior lap band surgery can learn about a simple procedure to <a href=\"index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=239\" title=\"Convert Band to Sleeve\">convert band to sleeve<\/a> gastrectomy. This operation, which can be expertly performed via laparoscope by Dr. Feiz, removes the lap band while removing part of the stomach to create a sleeve-like pouch. The surgery corrects the problems associated with the lap band and, with Dr. Feiz' assistance, the patient can begin losing weight with their new stomach.<\/p>\n<p>Give Dr. Feiz & Associates a call to discuss your options between keeping the <a href=\"index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=244\" title=\"Lap Band vs. Gastric Sleeve\">lap band vs. gastric sleeve<\/a> conversion.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Gastric Sleeve is an Option after a Failed Lap Band Surgery After years of failing to lose weight and attempting diet and exercise, many obese people feel like they're at the end of their rope.
