LOS ANGELES, May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When patients and doctors come together and fully commit to weight loss, the results can be staggering. The advent of specialized procedures like the STARR Treatment have revolutionized bariatric surgery, making operations like gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and the Lap Band safer, more effective, and less invasive than ever before. At the same time, patients are more knowledgeable now about their options, allowing them to make a more informed decision about the best course of action. Responsible surgeons like Dr. Michael Feiz make sure patients know that weight loss surgery is not a silver bullet, and that real and lasting success requires not only a high-caliber surgeon's deft skills, but also total commitment from the patient. By encouraging an open dialogue with his patients, and asking as much from them as he asks of himself and his team of medical professionals, Dr. Feiz has produced one success story after another.

At Dr. Feiz & Associates, a reputable weight loss center in Beverly Hills, Dr. Feiz and his fellow surgeons are blazing new trails. The STARR Treatment, which only a few surgeons in the United States are qualified to use, enables this team to perform dramatic weight loss surgery with only a single incision. If you have been hesitant to go under the knife because of concern about scars, or painful post-operative recovery, the STARR Treatment may represent an appealing alternative.

Nevertheless, bariatric surgery should not be entered into lightly. Dr. Feiz spends a lot of time consulting with prospective patients to determine what, if any, procedure may be right for them. A lot goes into this final determination, from your BMI (Body Mass Index) to co-morbidities (obesity-related health issues such as hypertension and diabetes), and many other considerations. You may be an ideal candidate for gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Other patients who may need a less-invasive option have come to Dr. Feiz for the increasingly popular Lap Band in Beverly Hills.

In consulting with Dr. Feiz, patients also need to show a readiness to dedicate themselves to the long-term lifestyle changes required to keep the weight off after surgery. Bariatric surgery isn't a path to which you resign yourself; it is a path to which you dedicate yourself. By sticking with patients long after surgery, helping them adhere to the larger plan for weight loss, Dr. Feiz ensures that weight loss becomes an ongoing team effort.
