GERD is gastroesophageal reflux,
more simply, heartburn, and often
00:00:11.945 --> 00:00:13.980
associated with a hiatal hernia.
00:00:14.005 --> 00:00:19.360
We do a lot of reflux surgery here at
Texas Center, both for primary reflux, and
00:00:19.385 --> 00:00:23.920
oftentimes, we're able to treat that with
a gastric bypass or with a weight loss
00:00:23.945 --> 00:00:29.020
surgery combined with a hiatal hernia
repair or a primary reflux operation
00:00:29.045 --> 00:00:31.100
like a Nissen fundoplication.
00:00:31.125 --> 00:00:34.580
Although we specialize in weight loss
surgery, we're still general surgeons,
00:00:34.605 --> 00:00:38.460
and we also specialize
in the routine bread and butter general
00:00:38.485 --> 00:00:42.080
surgery,
hernias, gallbladders, reflux operations,
00:00:42.105 --> 00:00:49.760
oftentimes on our patients that have
already had weight loss surgery with us.
