  • I've had drastic weight loss?

    While losing weight too fast could be a sign of something much more serious, losing 30 pounds over 5 months isn't too fast. It also sounds like you did it in a healthy way and are making the best choices for you to be a healthier person! Congratulations! READ MORE

  • How do I stop my weight loss?

    Depending on the type of surgery you actually had it could definitely be related to surgery. However, losing weight without actually trying and that much weight sounds like something more serious could be happening so you should be evaluated by a doctor to assess for the cause of your unexplained weight loss.

  • Which is better laparoscopy or open surgery for hernia repair?

    The best surgery for a hernia is the type of surgery the surgeon you choose to fix your hernia. I do laparoscopic repair but doing the surgery that way by someone who doesn't do that method on a regular basis wouldn't be wise. READ MORE

  • How much weight can I lose with surgery?

    60%-80% of your excess/extra weight. Excess weight is determined by taking current weight minus ideal weight (weight based on height for a BMI of approximately 18-25). READ MORE

  • Normal or not following surgery?

    Typically this would be done in a situation where the surgeon is concerned about stones and/or the anatomy in the post-operative period. If the surgeon already had to convert to an open procedure then it is questionably related to a concern about the anatomy but it's difficult to tell based on the information provided. READ MORE

  • Does everyone need radiation after lumpectomy?

    If you are doing the surgery for a cancer diagnosis then yes. READ MORE

  • What is the recovery time for hiatal hernia surgery?

    7-10 days for basic recovery. No heavy lifting more than 10-15 pounds for 6 weeks. READ MORE
