The gallbladder plays a key role in digestion by storing bile, but conditions like gallstones, inflammation, and bile duct blockages can cause severe pain and discomfort. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing long-term damage.
At CGA Weight Loss & Surgical Specialists, we offer expert care for gallbladder diseases, providing advanced treatments for lasting relief and better digestive health.
Surgery isn’t always necessary for gallbladder conditions, but chronic pain, recurring gallstones, or bile duct blockages may require intervention. At CGA Weight Loss & Surgical Specialists, we evaluate each case through medical history, physical exams, and diagnostic tests to determine the best treatment plan.
For those needing surgery, we specialize in minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures, ensuring smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. Our team provides comprehensive care before and after surgery to support your health.
