Gastrointestinal & Bariatric Surgery
We connect patients with expert teams specializing in upper and lower GI surgeries, liver and pancreas procedures, and bariatric (weight-loss) interventions like sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. Complete pre and post-surgical dietary and metabolic support is included
Common Surgical Conditions We Support
Gallbladder Stones (Cholelithiasis)
▾
Symptoms: Upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, indigestion after meals.
Treatment:
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy – A minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder. This is the standard of care for symptomatic gallstones and gallbladder inflammation.
Appendicitis
▾
Symptoms: Right lower abdominal pain, fever, nausea, vomiting.
Treatment:
- Laparoscopic Appendectomy – Removal of the inflamed appendix using small keyhole incisions. It offers faster recovery and minimal complications.
Inguinal & Ventral Hernias
▾
Symptoms: Swelling or bulge in the groin/abdomen, discomfort on exertion.
Treatment:
- Laparoscopic Hernia Repair (TEP/TAPP) – Mesh-based repair of hernia through small incisions, reducing recurrence and downtime.
GERD / Hiatal Hernia
▾
Symptoms: Chronic heartburn, acid reflux, regurgitation, chest discomfort.
Treatment:
- Laparoscopic Fundoplication – Surgical tightening of the lower esophageal sphincter to prevent reflux.
- Hiatal Hernia Repair – If a hernia is contributing to reflux, it is repaired laparoscopically.
Colorectal Conditions (Cancer, Polyps, IBD)
▾
Symptoms: Altered bowel habits, rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain.
Treatment:
- Laparoscopic Colectomy / Proctectomy – Removal of part or all of the colon or rectum affected by cancer or severe inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
- Polypectomy – Removal of precancerous growths via colonoscopy.
Liver, Pancreatic & Biliary Surgery
▾
Conditions: Liver cysts, tumors, pancreatic pseudocysts, bile duct obstruction.
Treatment:
- Hepatectomy – Surgical removal of part of the liver.
- Whipple Procedure – A complex operation for pancreatic or bile duct cancer.
- Laparoscopic Cyst Drainage – For non-cancerous liver or pancreatic fluid collections.
Bariatric Surgery (Obesity Treatment)
▾
Ideal for: Patients with BMI ≥ 35 or BMI ≥ 30 with comorbidities (e.g., diabetes, sleep apnea).
Treatment Options:
- Sleeve Gastrectomy – Removes 75-80% of the stomach to reduce appetite and promote weight loss.
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass – Bypasses part of the stomach and small intestine to limit calorie absorption.
- Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) – A simpler alternative to traditional bypass with effective weight-loss outcomes.
