Great job keep up the good work.

This has been a horrible week. I went in to get a fill with my DR., who unfortunately had a hard time finding my port. After being pocked about nine times in order to find my port I finally got my fill.

Since that day I have had a difficult time sleeping, a have terrible heartburn and acid reflux to the point were I wake up choking with that acidy taste in my mouth and esophagus. From what I’ve been reading Its possible that my band may be to tight, but I have been able to eat and drink my portions with minimal restriction. It almost feels as if the fill didn’t make me any tighter but just gave me horrible heartburn. The heartburn is also only happening at night and never throughout the day.

If anyone has ever encountered this problem I would appreciate your input.

I two was in your situation a few months ago. I visited different doctors and my experience made me feel like it was a meat marked. After doing some research I decided to go with Dr. Feiz. Although my experience with some of his office staff was less than satisfactory I felt he was highly recommended.

Dr. Feiz performed my surgery last friday and I must say that im extremely happy. I was able to leave the hospital the same day with minimal pain. I did not even need to take my pain medication. So if your looking for a highly qualified surgeon you cant go wrong with Feiz. He seems to me as though he cares about his patients but is extremely busy. Although if it's truly him answering questions on this site he cares enough to respond. Well good luck and hope you find someone who works for you.

my sister had the bypass about 4 years ago and has gained alot of weight back. She did loss alot of weight really quick but that caused her to look weired as her skin was very loose. Both surgeries are made to help the patient learn Portion Control, but it's up to the individual to make the effort to not continue bad habbits.

Hello everyone! I am thinking of getting the lap band procedure done, but I’m having a hard time trusting a doctor. I was scheduled to have the surgery on December 18 with Dr. Michael Feiz but haven't gotten the best pre-op support from his staff to make me certain that these are the people to go with. At first I was being helped by one of his assistants Marissa who assured me that the process would be smooth. But after finding out that my surgery would have to be done at the hospital as required by my insurance my file was transferred to another person who gave me little to no help. I had to constantly call, in order to remain informed on what was going on with the process. I have read a lot of good things about Dr. Feiz and he appears to be a very qualified surgeon, but I have to say I’m disappointed with his staff. Can anyone give me some advice of where to go?
