Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass is a surgery that can help you lose weight if changing your eating habits and exercise don't produce the results you need. Gastric bypass can give you the tools you need to lose weight, improve your health, and make a permanent lifestyle change.
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric sleeve surgery is a weight loss surgery in which the doctor sections a tube of your stomach to create a new much smaller stomach. Your stomach can then hold just a fraction of the food it could contain before.
Gallbladder Surgery
Gallbladder pain from gallstones and cholecystitis is often intense and overwhelming. If you're in pain with gallbladder disease, Dr. Mullangi can help with his expertise in gallbladder surgery. Dr. Mullangi performs gallbladder removal as well as tumor resections for gallbladder cancer.
Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgery is a potential solution for people with severe weight problems who find it impossible to slim down. If your BMI is over 35, you might qualify for weight loss surgery.

Acid reflux pain can be intense and persistent, causing a burning sensation in your chest. If you have chronic acid reflux and medications aren't helping, Dr. Mullangi could help with acid reflux surgery.

One of my favorite questions for patients, who schedule a consultation with me is, what is your ‘why’? Why do you want to lose weight? Why are you taking the first step towards weight loss surgery?
Bariatric or weight loss surgery is sometimes stigmatized as the 'easy way out' for patients with morbid obesity. But this is just not true.
A recent study was just published of almost 22,000 patients who have undergone bariatric surgery with a follow up of 40 (FORTY) years. Read on to see what they found.
