Commit to Success, Not a Single Procedure

The key to being successful after having bariatric surgery is committing yourself 100 percent towards the goal of losing weight. Many people who initially got a Lap Band confuse this advice to mean that they should stick with the Lap Band, no matter what. The reality that many weight loss surgeons do not like to admit is that the Lap Band far too often causes problems for patients down the line, in addition to the fact that it does not help patients lose weight as quickly as those patients who opt for a procedure such as the sleeve gastrectomy. Luckily, Dr. Amir Mehran at University Bariatrics is an expert at performing band to sleeve revision procedures that allow patients to keep going on their weight loss journey, but with a more effective procedure.

Your long term health is far too important to give up on your weight loss journey. For any patient looking for a surgeon who is skilled and knowledgeable about revision bariatric surgery in Thousand Oaks, they should look no further than Dr. Mehran and the rest of our dedicated team at University Bariatrics.
