Learn about the Center for General + Laparoscopic Surgerys' minimally invasive hemorrhoid repair surgical procedure. Your health is incredibly important. Without good health, you cannot do the things that you want to do, and you can't enjoy life.

Unfortunately, from time to time health problems require that you visit a surgeon in order to restore your good health. In the past, this would have required a visit to a traditional hospital, and possibly an overnight stay. The recovery times would be long; lasting days or weeks before you were fully back on your feet.

Obesity is a condition characterized by the excessive accumulation and storage of fat in the body. Obesity can lead to several health and life-threatening issues such as high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, heart problems and arthritis. Check with your doctor and find out what your BMI (body mass index) is.
Lap Band (Laparoscopic Adjustable Band) surgery is not as intrusive as other forms of weight loss surgery. The stomach is not cut or reshaped and the intestines are not cut and resown. Several tiny holes in the abdomen instead of one major cut can be done. Dr. Otah will be able to look at your abdomen with the laparoscope and place the lap band safely and securely within your abdomen.
Laparoscopic bariatric weight loss surgery benefits those with severe obesity, especially when proper nutrition and exercise alone don't yield results. The decision to undergo this type of procedure, also known as laparoscopic gastric bypass, is a weighty one. You need to commit to a drastic lifestyle change in its aftermath, but if you are determined to lose weight, you will reap its benefits.
Any time that you eat, the food moves down your throat and then through your esophagus and into your stomach. The esophagus at its lower end, features a tiny circle of muscle that is called the lower esophageal sphincter, or the LES. This performs as a single way valve, it allows the food to move into the stomach.

I was in the hospital for over 3 weeks small bowel obstruction when Dr. E. Otha came to me and told me surgery would be the best course for my health. She saved my life. Not only did the survey give me a new lease on life I lost weight n no longer crave sweets n bread s soda n juice like used too. Dr Otha is an amazing doctor. Kelsey seybold insurance was not in her medical plan n I was suppose to pay $300 a visit but was only charged $100 when I explained my work situation.. The office staff is amazing. Thank you Dr. E. Otha you are amazing. ❤️

Federal law does not require employers to give a final paycheck to employees immediately. If an employee has not received payment on the usual payday, he or she may choose to contact the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division or the applicable state labor department.

Dr. Otah, was very professional from the day of my first office visit, to surgery, and thereafter. She called and checked on me after surgery on a few different occasions. I have since healed fully and can say if I ever need to go under the knife again, she we be my surgeon. I definitely would recommend Dr. Otah.

Dr. Otah performed my VSG surgery March 2021. She's been a great doctor since day 1 almost a year ago when I began my pre-op! She has great bedside manner and always answers any questions I may have. Office staff are always accommodating as well!

She was very nice and having my gallbladder taken out without any complications was a plus. I recovered within a few days. Thank you very much, I was scared but the surgery was a breeze.
