Always having heartburn? It might be more than just “acid.”

GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a common condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus — causing irritation and long-term complications if left untreated.

Common symptoms:
✔️ Frequent heartburn (especially after meals or at night)
✔️ Acid regurgitation (sour/bitter taste)
✔️ Chest discomfort
✔️ Difficulty swallowing
✔️ Chronic cough or sore throat

While many patients improve with lifestyle changes and medications, some may require further evaluation — especially if symptoms are persistent, severe, or not responding to treatment.

In selected cases, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) anti-reflux surgery can provide long-term relief.

Don’t ignore recurring symptoms. Early consultation can help prevent complications.

Struggling with weight despite diet and exercise? You’re not alone.

For some patients, weight loss surgery (bariatric & metabolic surgery) is a medically guided option that can help achieve sustainable weight loss and improve overall health.

Beyond weight reduction, it may help with:
✔️ Better control of Type 2 Diabetes
✔️ Improvement in high blood pressure & sleep apnea
✔️ Reduced risk of obesity-related complications
✔️ Improved quality of life

Obesity is a chronic disease — and effective treatment often requires a comprehensive, individualized approach.

If you’ve tried multiple methods without lasting results, a proper consultation can help determine the best option for you.

Frequent heartburn? It might not just be “acid.”

A hiatal hernia happens when part of the stomach moves up into the chest through the diaphragm — often leading to acid reflux, chest discomfort, and difficulty swallowing.

Common symptoms include:
✔️ Heartburn or burning chest pain
✔️ Acid reflux / regurgitation
✔️ Difficulty swallowing
✔️ Feeling full easily
✔️ Shortness of breath

For many patients, medications can help.
But in some cases — especially if symptoms are persistent or severe — surgical repair (usually laparoscopic) may be recommended to provide long-term relief.

If you’ve been dealing with ongoing reflux despite treatment, it may be time for proper evaluation.

I’d never choose my kids’ career paths for them. They can subspecialize in whatever field of general surgery they’d like. 😉

In all seriousness, they’re free to do anything they want. But if they do choose medicine, having a parent who’s been there definitely makes the journey a bit smoother.

Dr. Ralph Victor Yap was one of the invited speakers at the Pearls in Endoscopic & Laparoscopic Approach for Benign Upper GI Diseases, organized by the Philippine Center for Advanced Surgery at Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Manila.

With Dr. Ralph Victor Yap's specialization in Minimally Invasive Surgery, he delivered an insightful lecture on: "Overview of Metabolic Bariatric (Weight Loss) Surgery"

He also actively participated in the hands-on laparoscopy session, assisting fellow surgeons, and refreshed his knowledge on the surgical management of GERD (acid reflux), hiatal hernia, and achalasia.

Thank you to Dr. Allen Buenafe (my mentor) for the opportunity and warm accommodation. Always striving to bring advanced surgical expertise closer to home. 🙏
