I had a Whipple surgery a while ago where they removed parts of my pancreas, bile duct, and gallbladder. Ever since then, I've been struggling to put on weight and now I'm underweight. What kind of diet plan would help me gain some healthy weight?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
With several changes to the gastrointestinal tract, many find it hard to return to a normal diet after the Whipple procedure. In the first few months after surgery many patients experience a lack of appetite and loss of weight which gets better with time, however, changes in digestion may last long term

I'm having trouble with regular bowel movements. It's only happening about once a week. I'd love some advice on how to have them more regularly in the mornings. Also, I'm dealing with some pain on the right side of my stomach. Could you suggest what might be going on and how to address it?
Moving to a new country can be challenging, especially when managing a medical condition like ADHD. In India, you'll find several medications available for ADHD treatment. *Commonly prescribed medications* include: - __Methylphenidate__ (MPH): Available in immediate-release (IR), extended-release (ER), and long-acting (LA) formulations. - __Atomoxetine__ (ATX): A non-stimulant medication. - __Lisdexamfetamine__ (LDX): A stimulant medication, although its availability might be limited in India. - __Clonidine__: Sometimes prescribed off-label for ADHD treatment. To find a doctor in Kanchipuram, you can: 1. *Ask for referrals*: Reach out to friends, family, or colleagues who live in Kanchipuram for recommendations. 2. *Online directories*: Utilize online directories like Practo or Lybrate to find psychiatrists or neurologists in Kanchipuram. 3. *Contact your embassy*: Reach out to the U.S. Embassy in India for guidance on finding medical care in Kanchipuram. Regarding the cost of medication and appointments, it's difficult to provide an exact estimate without knowing the specific doctor or hospital you'll be visiting. However, you can expect the cost of ADHD medications in India to be lower compared to the U.S. Before your move, consider: 1. *Carrying a sufficient supply*: Bring a sufficient supply of your current medication, Vyvanse, to last you a few months. 2. *Obtaining a prescription*: Get a prescription from your current doctor that you can use in India. 3. *Researching Indian pharmacies*: Look into pharmacies in Kanchipuram that can provide you with the necessary medication.

I have been diagnosed with a stage 2 or 3 hiatus hernia and experience symptoms like chest pain and mild heartburn. Can homeopathy help treat this condition? Also, is surgery the only option if it gets complicated? Would appreciate any doctor recommendations or advice on managing this.
