LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As arguably the finest bariatric surgeon working right now, Dr. Michael Feiz has had to grapple with the issues behind our collective weight issues. On the one hand, there is a great deal of pressure for people to shed pounds for purely aesthetic reasons. At the same time there has been a bit of a backlash, as some sectors of society have responded to the ballyhoo by saying it is inherently superficial to put a lot of effort into slimming down – that to make that effort is, in some way, a knock against a person's character. What is lost in this frenzied back-and-forth is a simple truth: there are good – nay, even excellent reasons – to lose weight. The first, and most obvious, is health. For people suffering from morbid obesity, it is imperative to lose weight, and fortunately there are more safe and effective options now than ever before. The lap band has been proven to reduce consumption and is both reversible and adjustable. Gastric sleeve surgery is an elegant procedure that restructures your stomach to better regulate the flow of food particles. In the hands of a capable and experienced surgeon, sleeve gastrectomy surgery can be a game-change for many patients.

For obese people, weight loss can be life-saving. Let us not ignore another important aspect of weight loss, though, and that is self-esteem. No, not everyone has to look like a swimsuit model. Nevertheless, body image is a part of how we think of ourselves, and self-esteem is an important part of mental health. Weight loss can reinvigorate you, reminding you that you are capable of great feats if you put your mind to it. Just ask a medical professional who has helped countless patients just like you realize their full potential: Dr. Michael Feiz, head physician at a popular Beverly Hills weight loss surgery center, has seen with his own eyes the amazing transformation his surgical procedures have offered to so many people. We're talking about a dramatic physical transformation, but also a profound change in these people's attitude about themselves, and about their lives. Dr. Feiz is renowned nationwide for his skill and his practice boasts a zero mortality rate.

So maybe it's time to shut out all the other voices, and listen to yourself for a change. Do you want to lose weight?
