Bariatric surgery doesn’t just support weight loss—it can also help repair a hiatal hernia. This condition happens when part of the stomach pushes through the diaphragm, often causing symptoms like acid reflux. During bariatric surgery, surgeons can often repair the hernia at the same time, reducing the need for a second procedure and lowering the risk of complications.

Mammograms are screening tools designed to detect issues before symptoms arise. It’s natural to feel uneasy about a physical exam involving sensitive areas. However, mammography technologists are trained professionals who prioritize dignity, respect, and patient comfort. Expressing concerns beforehand can help ensure a supportive experience.” said Isha Emhoff, MD, Breast Surgeon.
