Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common health problems in America today, and one of the most serious in a number of ways. It can require extensive efforts, including regular blood tests and medicine, in order to stay healthy, and can limit a person’s mobility and normal function. This type of diabetes is strongly associated with severe obesity and, fortunately, there are options for decreasing weight, and thusly decreasing the likelihood of getting diabetes, or even reversing it. One of these options is a weight loss procedure, like those available from Dr. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Dr. Feiz is one of the most trusted surgeons in Southern California, and he treats all of his patients with empathy, respect, and compassion. He’ll happily guide patients through the process of deciding between the Lap Band vs. a gastric sleeve and will make sure a person understands the nuances of their selected operation. Along with educating his patients, Dr. Feiz also likes to make sure they are kept comfortable throughout the process, from the very first stages of preparation, all the way through recovery.

For those who have already had a Lap Band surgery, but are unhappy with the results, Dr. Feiz also offers a band to sleeve revision operation that’s ideal for charting a new course to successful weight loss. Ultimately, regardless of the reason you’re looking to have a weight loss surgery, whether it be a sleeve gastrectomy after Lap Band operation or a first-time Lap Band operation, Dr. Feiz can help. He and his staff have an extraordinary amount of training and experience, and have made it their goal to deliver the best possible personalized care to all of their patients.
