Dr. Samir Contractor

This website, several hundred articles, videos and research papers are here to help you understand the facts about surgery, diet and health. As a laparoscopic and bariatric surgeon and author, each week I break down the latest surgical and health topics - so that you don't have to. It might be "Is bariatric surgery right for me?" or "What should I eat after gallbladder removal?" I explain what the research says, what it means for you, and whether the findings are robust. After performing more than 5,000 laparoscopic procedures, I know that most health information online is oversimplified and often misleading.

I am able to do this work through the generous support of subscribers to this site. A subscription of less than ₹1 per day keeps this site free from advertisements and any corporate influences. If you're interested in surgery, recovery, diet and health - please join us. You'll receive premium blog articles and get immediate access to all back issues, special reports and more. Each article has an executive summary and references to back up everything (and in case you want to explore further for yourself).

Thank you
Dr. Samir Contractor
