Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder Removal)

Cholecystectomy is the surgical removal of the gallbladder, typically performed to treat gallstones or gallbladder inflammation. At Western Bariatric, this procedure is most often done laparoscopically, using small incisions to ensure a faster recovery and minimal discomfort. Patients can usually return home the same day and resume normal activities within a few days.

LINX Procedure

The LINX procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). A small ring of magnetic beads is placed around the lower esophagus to support the natural function of the esophageal sphincter. This allows patients to find long-term relief from acid reflux without significantly altering their anatomy.

Hiatal Hernia Repair

Hiatal hernia repair involves correcting the displacement of the stomach through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This condition can cause heartburn, chest pain, and difficulty swallowing. Surgical repair helps restore normal anatomy and function, often improving symptoms significantly and reducing the risk of future complications.

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Inguinal hernia repair addresses hernias that occur in the lower abdominal wall, near the groin. This common procedure reinforces the weakened area, either with sutures or mesh, to prevent recurrence. It is typically performed on an outpatient basis and allows for a relatively quick return to normal activities.

Ventral Hernia Repair

Ventral hernias, often resulting from prior surgeries or abdominal wall weakness, occur through an opening in the abdominal muscles. Surgical repair involves repositioning the tissue and reinforcing the area to restore strength and reduce discomfort. Our team carefully evaluates each case to determine the best approach—open or laparoscopic.

Mass Removal

Western Bariatric provides surgical removal of abnormal masses, whether benign or suspicious, located in soft tissue or beneath the skin. Each procedure is tailored to the individual, with a focus on accurate diagnosis, complete removal, and a smooth recovery.

Cyst Removal

Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that may develop under the skin or within the body. While often harmless, they may become painful or infected. Surgical removal is a safe and straightforward option when a cyst is causing symptoms or cosmetic concerns.

Hemorrhoidectomy

Hemorrhoidectomy is a surgical treatment for severe or persistent hemorrhoids that do not respond to conservative care. This procedure removes swollen or inflamed hemorrhoidal tissue, providing long-lasting relief from pain, bleeding, and discomfort. Our team ensures that patient comfort and recovery are top priorities throughout the process.
