- As an initial management step before considering surgery if alignment is acceptable.
How to prepare

- Review of medical history, allergies, and current medications.

- After cast removal: Gradual return to weight-bearing and physical therapy to restore strength, flexibility, and range of motion.

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....
Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
