Colonoscopy Discount

Posted by on Oct 29, 2012 in Procedures | 9 comments

Well, I figured if all the restaurants give 2 for 1′s during the offseason in Jackson, why shouldn’t I do it too. So, here we are…2 for 1 Colonoscopies….my best idea yet! If you are due for your colonoscopy, and your doctor has been bugging you to get it done, it’s kinda gonna be tough to pass this one up! If you and a friend (relative, wife, husband or even stranger) call in and schedule 2 colonoscopies before December 15th, you’ll only pay for one (or you can split it 50/50). If you’ve got to get one, you might as well pay half price. Call or email...

This just means your hernia was in the groin region, and a polypropylene mesh was placed to repair the hernia using one incision just above the groin crease. After having your hernia repaired, there are no limitations on your diet.  Shortly after the surgery, you may feel full or nauseated easily. This is usually due to the anesthesia during the operation.  If it persists beyond one or two days, you should call the office for advice. You have been given a prescription for narcotic pain medication.  This often slows the bowels down...

The Gallbladder

Posted by on Jan 1, 2012 in Diagnosis, Featured | 18 comments

Hi, this is Dr. Buck Parker, General Surgeon, and in this post I’m going to talk about the gallbladder.  Many people ask: “What is a gallbladder and why is it causing me problems!?”  Alright, here’s the deal…. I like starting with a nice mental image that will explain a few things first before we get into the problems with the gallbladder.  The liver makes bile.  Bile helps digests fats in our food.  The liver continuously makes bile, which then travels down the bile ducts (or bile tubes) from the liver to the first part of the small bowel.  There is a...
