People considering a weight loss procedure tend to do a fair amount of their own research beforehand, learning about the many bariatric surgery options and oftentimes coming to a conclusion about which of the choices they're most intrigued with. No matter if you're drawn to the lap band, vertical sleeve gastrectomy, or gastric bypass, the team here at Dr. Feiz and Associates recommends consulting with a bariatric surgeon in order to get a personalized, expert opinion on which surgery is right for you. Michael Feiz, MD, FACS is incredibly open to meeting with anybody considering a weight loss procedure.
In one of these meetings, Dr. Feiz can give lots of information about the science behind the surgeries (for example, how the stomach sleeve works) and can also field questions about recovery and cost. Like nearly every medical procedure these days, most weight loss surgeries come with a price tag that is substantial for many patients. As a preeminent bariatric surgeon, Dr. Feiz is keenly aware of the issue of rising costs in the medical field, which is why he works hard to ensure costs do not become prohibitive for his patients. In a free consultation with Dr. Feiz, he can discuss with you the specifics of your gastric sleeve cost, including if your health insurance will offer any coverage for it.
If you're not quite ready for a one-on-one complimentary consultation with Dr. Feiz but have many questions, then feel free to attend one of his many weight loss seminars around the city. These sessions are held in Beverly Hills, Huntington Beach, Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, and many other locations; be sure to check them out. During one of these seminars, Dr. Feiz offers a comprehensive run down of the types of weight loss surgery and what they can do for you. For more information on a meeting or seminar, contact us today!
