What can you expect from your first visit with a Gastrointestinal Surgeon?

When you first visit a Gastrointestinal Surgeon, they would ask you about your complete medical history as well as symptoms. Don’t forget to bring medical records and previous testing documentation.

To diagnose your condition, the surgeon may give you a test or a series of tests. These tests can include X-rays or magnetic resonance imaging depending on your symptoms. They may also recommend physical tests.

Your Gastrointestinal Surgeon would diagnose you without doing any tests. They may simply ask you questions to find out what is causing your problems.

When you have received a diagnosis, your doctor and you will discuss treatment options and decide the best option. This could be surgery, or even physical exercise.
