I had laparoscopic fundoplication surgery two months ago but still have trouble swallowing, gastric issues, and discomfort. How long does recovery usually take for these problems to go away and when can I get back to my normal routine?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable to be concerned about lingering issues after laparoscopic fundoplication. While complete recovery can take 2-3 months for most, some complications like swallowing difficulties, gastric issues, and discomfort can persist longer for some individuals. You should consult with your doctor to address your specific concerns

View allI'm 50 years old and just got my bilirubin test results back. The total is 2.4 and direct is 1.1. I'm really worried. Is this considered very high? What should I do next?
Your bilirubin test results, with a total bilirubin of 2.4 mgdL and direct bilirubin of 1.1 mgdL, are slightly elevated, but not alarmingly high, as the normal range is typically 0.1-1.2 mgdL for direct bilirubin and 0.2-1.3 mgdL for total bilirubin, so consult your doctor to discuss potential causes, such as liver inflammation, bile duct obstruction, or hemolysis, and determine the best course of action.

I've been dealing with indigestion because of gallstones, with the biggest one measuring 7.5mm. A lot of people are telling me to get my gallbladder removed surgically, but I'm not sure about that. Some are suggesting Ayurveda instead. Is there any way to treat gallstones properly with medications alone, without needing surgery?
