Government Sponsored Weight Loss Surgery?

As a leading center for weight loss surgery in Los Angeles, here at Dr. Feiz and Associates, our team is committed to improving the quality of life with effective bariatric solutions. Because the medical consensus is that bariatric surgery is the only consistently proven method for someone with severe obesity to approach a healthy weight and ward off debilitating and life threatening health conditions, we strongly advise any severely obese individual to carefully consider their options. 

In the UK, like the United States, obesity has been declared a public health concern due to the associated health risks. In an interesting development, many public health officials are advocating that weight loss surgery be paid for by the government for severely obese individuals who qualify. The officials claim that though the costs may initially appear to be significant, are in fact better in the long run as severely obese individuals almost always develop health conditions that require consistent treatment and medical attention. Government funded weight loss surgery may seem radical, however, at  Dr. Feiz & Associates , we can’t help but understand the reasoning.
