Bariatric general procedures information
Gallbladder Removal
Also known as cholecystectomy, is a surgical procedure in which the gallbladder is removed to
prevent more serious problems. This is one of the most common procedures and can be done as open
or laparoscopic surgery. Depending on the surgery one large or several small incisions will be
made to remove the gallbladder. Patients can have a normal life without the gallbladder.
Appendectomy
An appendectomy is the surgical removal of the appendix. This surgery is performed when the
appendix has inflammation or swollenness. Some of the symptoms are stomach pain in the right
lower abdomen, diarrhea, vomiting and loss of appetite. There are two methods to remove the
appendix: open or laparoscopic surgery. The severity of your appendicitis and your health
condition will determinate which method is better.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
GERD occurs when the stomach acid moves up into the tube that connects the stomach with the
mouth, irritating the esophagus. Conditions and behaviors like obesity, hiatal hernias, smoking,
and eating or drinking a certain type of food and beverages can increase the risk of GERD. Open
or laparoscopic surgery is only considered after other forms of treatment have been tried. With
surgery, the lower part of the esophagus is wrapped to increase pressure and prevent the stomach
acids to move back.
