Our weight loss surgeons use cutting edge technology to perform innovative bariatric surgeries designed to help patients fight obesity and achieve a healthier life.

Hernia Surgery

Hernias are simply a hole or defect in the wall of the abdominal cavity that allows protrusion of an organ or abdominal content through it. The fascia is a thick layer of tissue that keeps the contents of the abdomen in place. There are certain areas of the abdominal wall which are considered sites of weakness, these are inguinal, femoral and umbilical areas. The groin represents the area where approximately 75% of hernias develop.

Whether due to excess abdominal strain, age, genetics or congenital disorders, this tissue can weaken and intestinal contents may begin to push through. Most commonly, fatty tissue and loops of large intestine may push into, and ultimately become trapped in, the hernia defect.

What Will My Body Look Like After Bariatric Surgery or Medical Weight Loss?

Woman looking at herself in the mirror

Body image is always a relatively contentious issue after bariatric surgery because everybody thinks of their excess skin differently and has very defined and often quite strong feelings about how their body should look and what they are willing to do to get to their goals. As such, it’s almost impossible to predict precisely what your body will look like. We can, however, offer some concrete advice on achieving the look you desire.

My advice to anyone is to trust the journey.”

“Dr. Abbas did an amazing job on my gallbladder removal. I loved how communicative and respectful he was. His medical assistant Taneka was also amazing at giving me tips for my surgery and helping me through my recovery.”

“5 stars is not enough! Dr. Webb saved my life not once but twice!!! I had a duodenal switch 12/22 and then my gallbladder removed 3/23… I had some complications there for a minute but Dr. Webb returned every call and his staff was with me every step of the way! Now in after care I have lost 137 pounds (thanks to his guidance) I needed a lipoma removed (done with minimal scarring) I am now (8/24) ready for the next step and that’s skin removal and hernia repair and yet again I’m choosing Dr. Webb and his team!!! They truly care and stick by their patients! He truly is a God send and choosing anyone else would be a mistake!”

“Dr. Abbas is an outstanding surgeon who has extremely high expectations for how his patients are treated. Dr. Abbas goes above and beyond to make sure his patients have low risks of post-surgery complications. Luckily, I had a simple gall bladder removal. If I ever need a general surgeon again, I will absolutely have Dr. Abbas and NO ONE ELSE!”
