When most people say that they need to lose weight, they mean shedding a few pounds so they look good in a cocktail dress, or can fit into the pants they wore in high school. For people who are severely obese, however, losing weight is a matter of life and death. Comorbid diseases can cut years off a person’s life, and losing weight is the best way to stave off these conditions. Unfortunately, people who struggle with obesity have a difficult time losing weight and keeping it off. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S opened his practice, Dr. Feiz & Associates, specifically to help obese and severely obese people overcome comorbid diseases and lose weight with Lap Band, gastric sleeve or, when needed, Lap Band revision surgery.

Dr. Feiz works closely with each patient during every step of the weight loss surgery process – from the very first consultation, to follow-up after surgery, he makes sure each patient is taken care of as an individual with unique needs. He starts by making sure each of his patients knows details about the benefits of different weight loss procedures, such as Lap Band vs. sleeve gastrectomy, so they can make an informed decision about their future health. He and his compassionate team help each person prepare for their surgery, and make sure to follow up and answer any and all questions after the surgery is over.
