Article on a Recovering Compulsive Eater’s Weight Loss Story Points to Bariatric Surgery’s Life-Changing Potential, Notes Dr. Feiz & Associates
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 20, 2016 -- According to an article published April 7th on the Daily Mail, Christine Carter, who struggled with severe obesity and binge eating, was able to lose 150 pounds with the help of the gastric sleeve procedure. Carter notes in the article that, prior to her surgery, she would constantly think about food and “spend the day binge-eating carbs and sugar.” After the surgery, however, she was able to lose a stunning amount of weight within a period of only 16 months. Commenting on this article, the Los Angeles based bariatric surgery clinic Dr. Feiz & Associates notes that, while incessant cravings and numerous other factors can hinder one’s weight loss journey, bariatric procedures such as the Lap Band and gastric sleeve can help make seemingly impossible weight loss goals attainable. The clinic explains that, although Ms. Carter’s weight loss is monumental, her story is far from unusual, and the decision to have bariatric surgery is often the best choice for many patients struggling with severe obesity and associated health issues.
Dr. Feiz & Associates explains that, while severe obesity can cause numerous health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, for many people, reduced quality of life is just as crucial an issue to deal with. The clinic notes that a great number of people who are severely overweight report that, if they were able to enjoy activities such as exercising and could feel more confident about themselves, their lives would be significantly more joyful and fulfilling. Ms. Carter, who found the self-esteem to drop a jealous boyfriend who resented her weight loss, notes in the Daily Mail article that other important benefits in undergoing the gastric sleeve procedure and losing much of her excess body weight – “It also helped me progress in my career,” she says. “Opportunities present themselves to me daily that I would not have if I was overweight.” Dr. Feiz & Associates adds that, regardless of a patient’s motivation to slim down to a healthier body weight, their office routinely helps people like Ms. Carter accomplish their weight loss goals.
Dr. Feiz & Associates explains that, for many people struggling with severe obesity, bariatric procedures such as the gastric sleeve and the Lap Band are scientifically proven to help patients lose weight. Because every patient is unique, Dr. Feiz & Associates explains, each one needs to work with a bariatric surgeon to choose a weight loss procedure and post-operative maintenance plan that truly works for them.
