The Right Surgeon Can Make All the Difference

Nationwide, bariatric surgery has been proven to be a relatively safe and effective way to help patients overcome the burden of obesity. Yet, although the benefits of bariatric surgery in Thousand Oaks far outweigh the risks for most patients, it is still important to try to minimize any possible risks. One of the best ways to do that is have your surgery with an experienced doctor like Dr. Amir Mehran at University Bariatrics. Dr. Mehran is known as a doctor who does everything he can before, during, and after a procedure to ensure that his patients have the best chance at a clean bill of health.

Before the procedure, Dr. Mehran often recommends that patients lose a small portion of their weight to facilitate a safer surgery. Patients can achieve this pre-surgical weight loss by following the nutritional plan Dr. Mehran recommends leading up to surgery. Dr. Mehran’s ability to maximize patient safety during surgery speaks for itself with his years of experience as a leading surgeon in the Greater Los Angeles area. And, once the sleeve gastrectomy is over and the real weight loss journey has begun, Dr. Mehran and his staff guide patients through the best diet practices to ensure they get all the proper nutrients they need while losing weight. At University Bariatrics, every member of our team works together to ensure patient success.
