As a weight loss surgeon in El Paso, Texas for over 14 years, the one thing I've repeatedly seen is the indecisiveness patients often have when deciding on whether or not to move forward with weight loss surgery.

Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy) is done to get rid of gallbladder and gallstones through a lot of little incisions in the abdomen.
