Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Am I a candidate for weight loss surgery?
Weight loss surgery is an option for people with a high Body Mass Index (BMI), especially if they also have health problems like type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. The most important part is being ready to commit to long-term healthy lifestyle changes.

2. What is revisional bariatric surgery?
This is a second weight loss surgery for patients who have had a procedure in the past but are having problems or have regained weight. It's a specialized surgery to help get you back on track.

3. What are the benefits of minimally invasive surgery?
It's surgery done through tiny cuts instead of one large one. This means you'll have less pain, smaller scars, and get back to your normal life much faster.

4. How can surgery help my acid reflux (GERD)?
Often, chronic reflux is caused by a physical problem called a hiatal hernia. While pills help with the burning feeling, they don't fix the cause. We can perform a minimally invasive surgery to correct the issue, which provides a long-term solution.
