Medical Weight Loss
We encourage you to send us an email to: lshull@upmc.edu about your weight loss surgery experience. Please include a recent digital photo if possible. You may also mail your submissions to...
Primary Care
Lthough laparoscopic colon resection has many benefits, it may not be appropriate for some patients. Obtain a thorough medical evaluation by a surgeon in consultation with your primary care physician to find out if the technique is appropriate for you.
Ear Infections
Do not have weight loss surgery, while you have any other acute medical problem. If you are getting a cold or have a sore throat, ear infection, kidney or bladder infection, open wound or sore, call your doctor. It may be safer to reschedule your surgery.
Colonoscopy
Ost diseases of the colon are diagnosed with one of two tests: a colonoscopy or barium enema. A colonoscope is a soft, bendable tube about the thickness of the index finger which is inserted into the anus and then advanced through the entire large intestine. A barium enema is a special X-ray where a white “milk-shake fluid” is flushed into the rectum and by using mild pressure is pushed throughout the entire large intestine. These tests allow the surgeon to look inside of the colon. Sometimes a CT scan of the abdomen will be necessary. Prior to the operation, other blood tests, electrocardiogram (EKG) or a chest x-ray might be required.
Electrocardiogram
Preoperative preparation includes blood work, medical evaluation, chest x-ray and an EKG depending on your age and medical condition
Pneumonia

Internal Medicine
I started my job at UPMC Hamot Medical Center in 1993 as an office coordinator at an Internal Medicine office. I became a Business Manager in 1998. I was given the opportunity to join the Bariatric team as a Business Manager in January 2008. It has been a pleasure to work with such a dedicated team of people. Our patients are our number one priority and we work together to help each patient meet their individual goals....
Endoscopy
The band can slip down the body of the stomach. The risk is highest during the first 3 weeks. It is absolutely important to avoid solid food and severe nausea during that period. If the band slips, it can be diagnosed with an upper GI series or EGD (upper endoscopy). Most of the time, a slipped band can be repositioned with a laparoscopic procedure similar to the original procedure. The band has to be removed and replaced with a new band.

Depression

Ultrasound
In patients older than 60 years of age, with recent onset of dysphagia and excessive weight loss, secondary or pseudo-achalasia should be ruled out. Because a cancer of the gastroesophageal junction is the most common cause of pseudo-achalasia, an endoscopic ultrasound or a CT scan of the gastroesophageal junction can help to establish the diagnosis.
X-Rays
Computed Tomography

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Oday, minimally invasive surgery has completely changed this treatment algorithm and a laparoscopic Heller myotomy and partial fundoplication is preferred by most gastroenterologists and surgeons as the primary treatment modality. Critical details of the operation include a generous myotomy of the lower esophagus in a longitudinal fashion, extending well onto the gastric wall ( cutting the muscles of the esophagus or food pipe in the lower part of the food pipe all the way to the stomach). This procedure has a very high success rate in relieving the major symptom of achalasia i.e. dysphagia or difficulty swallowing. An anti reflux procedure is added to the operation to reduce the possibility of gastro esophageal reflux or GERD. Patients can usually eat the morning of the first postoperative day, and can be discharged home after one or two days. Surgical treatment of Achalasia provides the longest symptom relief compared to all the other modalities.
Robotic Surgery
Dr Ali has been practising minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic surgery and bariatric surgery including laparoscopic Roux-N-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and Lap-Band procedures at UPMC Hamot Medical Center since 2004.
Laparoscopy
Lthough there are many advantages to laparoscopy, the procedure may not be appropriate for some patients who have had previous upper abdominal surgery or who have some pre-existing medical conditions. A thorough medical evaluation by your personal physician, in consultation with a general surgeon trained in laparoscopy, can determine if laparoscopic gallbladder removal is an appropriate procedure for you.

Plastic Surgeons

Botox
The prolonged pH monitoring may be helpful preoperatively in patients who have previously failed treatment with pneumatic dilatation, Botulinum toxin (Botox), or surgical myotomy, for whom a myotomy is planned. Demonstration of reflux clearly indicates the need for a fundoplication in addition to the myotomy.
Laparoscopic Surgery
Is an inflatable band that is placed around the upper stomach to create a small gastric pouch. This limits food consumption and creates an earlier feeling of fullness. The band is implanted by laparoscopic surgery and is then adjusted over time to meet individual patient needs. Once the band is in place, it is inflated with saline. Subsequent adjustments are made through a portal under the skin.
Bariatric Surgery
Dr Kalim joined UPMC Hamot Bariatric Surgery team in 2013. He is a board certified general surgeon with fellowship training in laparoscopic and bariatric surgery. Dr Kalim is a member of American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and Society of American Gastrointestinal Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES).
