Sergey Lyass, MD, FACS, FASMBS, is a board-certified general surgeon offering a range of laparoscopic bariatric surgery procedures to individuals suffering from obesity. He performs adjustable gastric banding with Lap Band and Realize Band, sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass surgery. Whenever possible, Dr. Lyass uses the laparoscopic approach, which involves the use of a camera (laparoscope) and several small incisions, a method considered less invasive than the conventional open surgery technique. In addition, laparoscopic weight loss surgery is associated with a reduced risk of complications and a shorter recovery.

In order to provide each patient with the highest quality of care possible, Dr. Lyass works hand-in-hand with an outstanding medical team comprised of a nutritionist, a psychologist and support staff who work together to help bariatric surgery patients on their journey to a healthier and happier life. From preoperative preparations to comprehensive aftercare and emotional support, Dr. Lyass and his staff are committed to ensuring optimal results. They are also available to answer questions and help patients understand their insurance coverage and payment options.

 

As a result of his excellent surgical track record and extensive experience, Dr. Lyass holds surgical privileges at several healthcare centers throughout the Los Angeles area, including Brand Surgical Institute, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Glendale Adventist Medical Center, Olympia Medical Center and Northridge Hospital Medical Center. These state-of-the-art facilities allow Dr. Lyass to perform weight loss procedures in a safe setting.

What Do Patients Say About Dr. Lyass?

"I was the largest that I had ever been, 265. I worked out 5 days a week and tried every fad diet out there. I was so depressed and even my social life and marriage was struggling due to my weight. I then began looking into surgery and came across the Lap Band procedure. I did a lot of research and realized that I was ready for a change and this was it. I had the surgery in June and weighed in at 250 and 4 months later I now weigh in at 194. I feel absolutely wonderful and not too much has changed other than my eating habits and my health. I had hypothyroid disease and sleep apnea and now I am off my meds and have so much energy and a clean bill of health. Dr. Lyass did my surgery and what an outstanding doctor. I felt really comfortable and he explained everything pre/post surgery. Thank you so much, Dr. Lyass. I owe you so much and would recommend you and the surgery to anyone."
—Kristina (gastric banding)

"Dr Lyass, I cannot thank you enough for saving my life! I have lost 79 lbs. since surgery 12/16/08. I was 341 in August of 2008. Now I weigh 230. I feel wonderful!!!

I have no medical problems and have had no complications at all. My life is so wonderful now. I have 95 lbs. to go and I know I'll be able to make it.

Thank you again" —Cindy (gastric bypass)

"February 24th will be the one year anniversary of my surgery. To date I have lost 175 pounds. I am working out four days a week and walking at least four days a week. I started out wearing a size 4x shirt and 56 pants and now wear a size XL shirt and 36 pants! I am still looking forward to losing at least another 25 pounds. I feel amazing. The surgery has changed my life in ways I never anticipated. I have followed all of the rules and guidelines you laid out and have not experienced any complications to date. This season I am back to riding my snowboard and bodyboard, which I have not done in 20 years. I went to Disneyland with my kids, which I have never done. I am able to go to concerts and shows without worrying if I will be able to fit in a seat. I am off of my cholesterol and high blood pressure meds, as well as not having to use my CPAP machine anymore.

I can't thank you and your staff enough for taking care of me and providing the service you do. I know it's your job, and you earn a good living at it, but what you did for me has given me a whole new lease on life." —Nick (gastric bypass)

"I found Dr. Lyass and his staff so nice and professional. His Nurse Coordinator Kai is just amazing. I am one week post-op and feel great." —Rose
