At my highest weight of 283 lbs I was merely surviving life instead of living it. Many years of yo-yo dieting, failing health and a diagnosis of type II diabetes were taking their toll. I had virtually become a recluse, too ashamed to leave my own home and unable to pull out of the depression and anxiety that controlled my life. When I first heard about weight loss surgery and its impact on diabetes I began to research the different types of surgeries and became hopeful for the first time in many years. I went to one of Dr. Srikanth’s information seminars to learn more and immediately could see that this man absolutely loved what he did and seeing lives transformed! After much consideration and discussions with Dr. Srikanth I chose to have a proximal gastric bypass and had my surgery on August 16th 2011. I have lost 126 lbs. and feel fantastic! Most importantly I no longer have diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, GERD, edema, pulmonary hypertension, high cholesterol, high triglycerides or shortness of breath! I walked my first 5k two months after surgery and ran my first 10k five months later. I’m once again doing the things that I love like horseback riding, biking and going to the gym. I no longer fear leaving my home and now even look forward to having new adventures. This journey to health has been amazing and I’ve made it my lifelong commitment to take care of and use this wonderful tool I now have. I’m thankful that Dr. Srikanth has given me a second chance at life and for the amazing surgeon that he is. I’m no longer simply surviving life miserably but am living it fully and loving it! Judi

"My starting weight was 455 pounds, but thanks to gastric bypass surgery and a healthy, active lifestyle, I am maintaining a more than 220 pound weight loss and living a life I never thought possible. Having the procedure not only improved my health and self-image, but also my relationship with my beautiful wife. I've even seen an improvement in relationships I have with others. Before surgery, even the most basic physical activities were painful and challenging. I couldn't do the things I wanted and wasn't living the life I desired. Personal hygiene, intimacy and dignity were always an issue though I tried to convince myself I was happy. I've lost most of my excess weight, but have gained a second chance to deal with the issues and choices that led to my obesity. Nothing has been easy, but it sure has been worth the time and effort." This Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass surgery was performed by Lite Dimensions Weight Loss serving weight-loss surgery patients in Orange Country and Los Angeles.

I went to Dr. Feiz in early 2007 to inquire about getting Gastric Bypass surgery and he spent a great-deal of time explaining the entire procedure to me in great detail. I was impressed with his enormous amount of knowledge and his patience and the time he spent to explain it all. As a patient who is nervous about surgeries he definitely put me at ease with the confidence of his abilities. Once I made my decision to have the surgery Dr. Feiz was diligent in making sure that all the necessary pre-op procedures were completed. He was always there for me when I needed any questions answered and believe me I had a lot. Once the surgery was completed; I had little to no pain and healed very quickly. He gave me some key tips to a speedy recovery. Dr. Feiz is a surgeon above the rest. He has always been there for me. My calls never go unanswered. He is just an amazing surgeon and I am super happy I used him to perform my surgery. His work is impeccable. People cannot believe the lack of scars I have. I highly recommend him as a surgeon. Getting this type of surgery is not one to be taken lightly and having a competent and caring surgeon is important. He is all of that and more. To-date I have reached my goal and have lost 95 pounds and am maintaining a healthy lifestyle and weight. Thank you Dr. Feiz for giving me my life back!
