Sleeve Gastrectomy Southern California

The Beverly Hills Comprehensive Weight Loss Center is a top Southern California clinic for sleeve gastrectomy. Sleeve gastrectomy is a less-invasive alternative to traditional gastric bypass surgery, and is a popular choice for Southern California patients who visit our clinic. Unlike with full gastric bypass surgery, our Southern California patients who undergo sleeve gastrectomy do not completely bypass the stomach. Sleeve gastrectomy leaves a much larger space for food within the stomach that enables Southern California individuals who undergo the procedure to eat more food. The sleeve gastrectomy promotes weight loss both by limiting the size of the stomach (thus making the patient feel full sooner) and by slowing the digestion of the food from the stomach into the intestines. Since sleeve gastrectomy slows the food’s passage into the intestine, our Southern California patients report that they feel much more full for longer periods of time and are not immediately hungry following a meal.

Dr. Michael Feiz, leading bariatric surgeon at the Beverly Hills Comprehensive Weight Loss Center, has performed the world’s most lap band surgeries. His expertise is unparalleled in Southern California, and our patients rave about his caring bedside manner and their wonderful results after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy surgery in our office. Since sleeve gastrectomy is not as invasive as traditional bypass surgery, patients typically heal faster and have less scarring while still enjoying the same weight loss and health benefits. Our Southern California patients enjoy high resolution rates for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obstructive sleep apnea after their sleeve gastrectomy, resulting in a healthier, higher quality of life along with a slimmer waistline.
