Who is this surgery for?
- Persistent or recurrent abdominal bloating and distension that interferes with daily life.
- Bloating accompanied by other symptoms like pain, constipation, diarrhea, or unexplained weight loss.

How to prepare
- Maintain a detailed symptom and food diary for 1-2 weeks before the appointment.
- Follow specific pre-test instructions if a diagnostic procedure (like a breath test or endoscopy) is scheduled, which may include fasting or dietary restrictions.
- Bring a list of all current medications, supplements, and known allergies.
- Be prepared to discuss personal and family medical history in detail.
- For certain tests, you may be asked to temporarily stop medications like antibiotics or probiotics.
Risks & possible complications
- Risks are primarily associated with any diagnostic procedures performed, not the symptom evaluation itself.
- For endoscopic procedures: minor risks include sore throat, bloating from air insufflation, or reaction to sedation.
- Very rare but serious risks of endoscopy can include bleeding, infection, or perforation.
- Potential for inconclusive test results, requiring further investigation.

I'd been to three other doctors...
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Latha at MGM was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all to me in plain Tamil, drew diagrams on a notepad. I was scared, but she laid out a clear plan. It's been a long road, but I finally feel like we're getting somewhere.
