For those in or near Ballina, Dr Isaacs offers consultations to explore these surgical treatments. Here is an overview:
- Gastric sleeve surgery: Bariatric surgery or metabolic surgery lends to significant and durable weight loss by changing the body’s hormones to aid metabolism.
- Gastric bypass surgery: This procedure reroutes the digestive system, leading to substantial weight loss and health gains.
- Hiatal hernia repair: Hiatal hernias slide the stomach into the chest. Surgery can ease reflux and pain.

- Acid reflux surgery: GORD is usually managed with diet and medication to lessen stomach acid, with surgery as an option if these don’t work or if you’d rather fix the problem permanently instead of taking long-term medication.
- Gallbladder surgery: Gallstones can cause pain and various complications such as pancreatitis therefore surgery is recommended if pain persists.
- Oesophageal cancer surgery: This procedure involves removing the affected portion of the oesophagus and reconstructing the digestive tract.
