LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The same surgeries Dr. Michael Feiz, M.D., F.A.C.S. has spent years perfecting in the United States are now being increasingly recognized in the United Kingdom as a hugely effective means of preventing serious health problems later on in life. In early November, England's National Bariatric Surgery Registry released a comprehensive report verifying that weight loss surgery is both safe and hugely effective in combating Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and other serious ailments.

Dr. Feiz knows that some patients might have concerns about undergoing a surgical procedure, but the proven benefits of weight loss surgery could never be higher in light of recent studies shattering some commonly held misconceptions about the risks of these procedures. A recent study published in the highly respected journal of Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism concluded that the most common weight loss surgeries are no less safe than getting knee replacement surgery; other studies have compared it to a gall bladder or appendix operation.

Moreover, Dr. Feiz's years of experience and meticulous approach to patient care have allowed him to achieve outstanding results with the very highest level of safety. With a zero percent mortality rate across every type of weight loss surgery, patients and their families can rest easy knowing that they are in the most capable hands when electing to undergo this amazing, life-changing procedure.

The results speak for themselves, but that doesn't mean Dr. Feiz's patients will stop singing his praises. After choosing Dr. Feiz as his bariatric surgeon in 2012, Ron Knisley said that it was one of the best decisions he had ever made. "I have no side effects and my energy level amazes me," Knisley affirmed. "My blood pressure is consistently at 115/69 with heart rate of 59... Additionally, my wife and I walk/jog two to three miles every evening with the dog." Countless other patients have similar stories to tell.

While people have achieved safe results with a variety of weight loss treatments and surgeries, patients from all walks of life seek out Dr. Feiz when they get word of his unmatched reputation in performing such procedures as the Lap Band and gastric sleeve. Dr. Feiz treats every patient on a carefully thought-out case, and he is a master of presenting all the pros and cons of the most popular weight loss surgeries, helping patients to make the most educated choice about their procedure. While some patients achieve outstanding results with Lap Band surgery, others find that the multi-faceted approach of the gastric sleeve procedure provides them with a more complete set of tools to help them succeed in losing weight. Dr. Feiz is also one of the most trusted surgeons when a patient desires a Lap Band to gastric sleeve conversion procedure, if their initial surgery with a less-skilled physician wasn't successful.
