In Southern California, bariatric surgery has grown tremendously in popularity in recent years. While this is largely due to a growing awareness of the health risks faced by those who are obese or exceedingly overweight, it is also due to the esteem of SoCal's expert bariatric surgeon Michael Feiz, MD, FACS. With offices throughout the Southland, for those in need of sleeve surgery, Rancho Cucamonga, Beverly Hills, Huntington Beach, Oxnard and Valencia alike can experience the world-class expertise of Dr. Feiz.

The gastric sleeve procedure involves the removal of 75% or more of the stomach – what remains is then reshaped into the form of a sleeve, enabling a regulated flow of food particles. This allows for efficient, long-lasting and safe weight loss, and thus, a dramatic reduction in potential health risks like diabetes are also often experienced. Perhaps most incredible, the procedure also diminishes feelings of hunger in a patient, so that even while losing weight, an individual will still feel energized and content.

Prior to undergoing surgery, patients of Dr. Feiz are encouraged to look over weight loss surgery pictures from past patients. Taking a look at gastric sleeve before and after photos, for example, can go a long way towards alleviating any anxiety a patient might feel prior to their treatment, allowing for a smooth and pleasant experience along every step of the journey towards a happier, healthier life.
