My mum had obesity and was advised to consider surgery because her weight was affecting her health and she was at higher risk of developing diabetes. We consulted Dr Shanker, a Bariatric Surgeon in Singapore, and he recommended surgery based on her condition. She had a sleeve gastrectomy, which helped with significant weight loss and managing her weight better.

I may need sinus surgery and wanted to ask what the usual recovery is like. How long does it usually take to return to normal activities?

If gallstones are causing pain, does surgery usually become necessary?

My sister had a physical exam, blood test, thyroid ultrasound and thyroid biopsy done for her thyroid lump. We had these checked at a Thyroid Clinic in Singapore with Dr Luke Tan, and we’re now waiting for the results to know what the next step will be.

Yes, mine kept happening from the same nostril, so I went to Dr Lau Chee Chong to find out what was causing it. He examined inside my nose to locate the bleeding area and checked for possible causes. He also explained treatment options such as nasal sprays, cauterisation or packing if needed. I had the consultation at the Best ENT clinic in Singapore, and it gave me a better idea of what could be done for recurring nosebleeds.
