Why Revision Weight Loss Might be Right for You

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- At Dr. Feiz and Associates, the acclaimed surgeon Dr. Michael Feiz and his team are proud of the work they've done to help those who struggle with obesity rejuvenate their health and enhance their health through bariatric surgery. However, as bariatric surgery options like Lap Band, sleeve gastrectomy, and others have become increasingly popular, it's also become clear that not every patient achieves the desired results right away – particularly when they undergo treatment from an inexperienced surgeon.

Dr. Randy Haluck, chief of minimally invasive surgery and bariatrics at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, explains in The Penn State Patriot News that even though bariatric surgeries like gastric bypass constitute "an effective way for many obese people to lose weight, (these treatments are) not a guarantee that weight will come off and stay off." Fortunately, Dr. Feiz and his team are highly experienced at performing remarkably effective revision weight loss treatments. Revision weight loss surgery is particularly effective option for those who:

• Have medical problems related to obesity. Obesity complications might include diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, endocrine disorders, joint problems. If the severity of these issues outweighs the potential side effects of surgery, Dr. Feiz might recommend revision surgery. In past studies, it's even been found that diseases like Type 2 diabetes can be completely remedied by successful bariatric surgery.
• Have not lost the desired weight with their previous treatment. If you've undergone bariatric surgery, and the treatment has failed to lead to the desired results for any reason, revision treatment might be your best option.
• Have suffered medical complications due to the previous treatment. While surgical complications are rare after weight loss surgery, they unfortunately can happen. That's why the proven expertise Dr. Feiz is so valuable to his patients.

No matter what reason you might have for considering revision bariatric surgery, it's essential to consult a truly expert surgeon like Dr. Michael Feiz prior to your treatment. While any surgical procedure is best performed by a skilled and experienced medical specialist, bariatric revision treatment requires a particularly high level or precision. After all, revision surgery involves undoing previous work, while simultaneously performing the needed revision to ensure safe, sustainable weight loss.
