If you've already had lap band surgery but you haven't lost as much weight as you had hoped, you shouldn't think you've failed. The reason you haven't lost sufficient weight could be due to the fact that your aftercare from your bariatric surgeon wasn't enough to help you learn new lifestyle habits. Remember that having weight loss surgery alone won't do the trick in getting the number down on the scale; it takes dedication to your new diet and a willingness to commit to regular physical activity. Los Angeles weight loss surgeon, Dr. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S. can lend his skillful hand as well as his compassion when helping you through the process of band to sleeve revision.

That, or they choose Dr. Feiz because perhaps they weren't fully educated about the differences between lap band vs. gastric sleeve, and they wish they had chosen gastric sleeve for their first surgery. Another possibility is the fact that they suffered from complications from their primary weight loss surgery that hindered progress in weight loss.
