Bariatric surgery is a type of procedure that can be used to achieve significant weight loss in individuals who are very obese (morbidly obese). A thumb-sized stomach pouch is created (using a stapling or banding technique) then the outlet of the pouch is connected directly to the intestine, essentially bypassing the lower stomach. After the surgery, the amount of calories your body can intake is reduced which leads to weight loss.

During colon resection surgery (bowel resection) the diseased part of the large intestine is removed and the two healthy ends are sewn back together (resectioned). This surgery is used to treat many conditions, such as bowel obstruction, diverticulitis, Crohn’s Disease and colon cancer. A bowel resection may be performed as a traditional "open" procedure or as a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure. The surgery is performed in a hospital setting under general anesthesia and can involve a hospital stay of up to 7 days.

Gastrectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the stomach and reconnection to the small intestine. This surgery used to treat stomach cancer, noncancerous polyps, gastric ulcers, or a hole in the stomach wall. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually involves a seven to ten day hospital stay. If combined with other procedures, the stay can be lengthy.

Hemorrhoid surgery (also called hemorrhoidectomy) is the surgical removal of hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are swollen or enlarged veins located inside (internal) and outside (external) the anus. They are usually caused by straining when constipated or during pregnancy. The surgery can remove large internal hemorrhoids that do not respond to non-surgical treatment and large external hemorrhoids.

Laparoscopic gallbladder removal (also known as laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is the procedure where the gallbladder is removed using instruments inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. The procedure is performed in an operating room with the patient under general anesthesia.
