Dr. Michael Feiz, a Beverly Hills Bariatric Surgeon, Performs Lap Band Surgery that Enhances Fertility in Obese Women

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Female infertility is an increasing problem in the United States, as more and more women are experiencing problems in conceiving children. Factors such as age, sexually transmitted diseased, genetics and cancer can negatively affect women's fertility, but much attention has been directed towards obesity and its significant effects on female fertility. Obesity is a big factor in the increase of infertility in women, and this is due to a direct correlation between obesity and hormone levels. It is now known that achieving normal weight through weight loss surgery or intense diet and exercise can significantly boost fertility levels in women. Dr. Michael Feiz, a Beverly Hills bariatric surgeon, specializes in minimally invasive Lap Band, sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass surgeries that help individuals lose weight so that they can have children, as well as significantly improve their health.

In obese individuals, fat cells in the body produce excess estrogen. This in turn causes a reaction from the body in which androgen (usually testosterone) is created in order to balance out the high estrogen levels. This results in irregular menstrual periods, prolonged menstrual bleeding, and the body not being in a hormonally viable state for pregnancy. Women who are obese and are experiencing difficulty in becoming pregnant are now able to undergo minimally invasive weight loss surgery in Los Angeles, such as the Lap Band, and effectively shed risky excess weight as well as restore a more normal hormonal balance in their bodies. Lap band surgery in Los Angeles with Dr. Feiz also restores normal menstrual cycles, making them more normal in duration and regular in intervals.

Dr. Feiz performs the Lap Band in Los Angeles laparoscopically, which means no large incisions, minimal to no scarring, short recovery time, and minimal chance of infection. Aside from enhancing fertility and regulating menstrual cycles in women, the Lap Band procedure and the subsequent rapid weight loss it causes can relieve diabetes, decrease cholesterol levels, decrease blood pressure and lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. The extensive experience and passionate care Dr. Feiz provides for his patients is unmatched, designating him as the bariatric surgeon of choice for men and women who want to change their lives for the better via the Lap Band.
