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. The most important part is being ready to commit to long-term healthy lifestyle changes.
2. What are the benefits of robotic surgery for hernia repair?
Robotic surgery is a very precise, minimally invasive way to repair hernias. It uses tiny cuts instead of a large incision. For patients, this means a stronger repair, less pain after surgery, and a much faster recovery.
3. How can surgery help my acid reflux (GERD)?
Often, chronic reflux is caused by a physical problem called a hiatal hernia. While pills can help with symptoms, they don't fix the cause. Minimally invasive surgery can repair the hernia and fix the valve that stops acid from coming up, offering a long-term solution.
4. What are the common signs of a gallbladder problem?
The most common sign is pain on your upper right side, especially after fatty meals. You might also feel nauseous or bloated. The most common solution is a simple, minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder.
5. How can I schedule an appointment with Dr. Greco?
You can schedule an appointment by calling the Monmouth Surgical Specialists office closest to you.
