Preparing for Surgery
Your gallbladder specialist will provide you with specific instructions on how to prepare for the procedure. These may include:
Fasting
You may need to fast for several hours before the surgery to ensure that your stomach is empty.
Medications
Your specialist may ask you to stop taking certain medications, including blood-thinning medications, in the days leading up to the surgery to reduce the risk of bleeding.
Transportation
You will likely need to arrange for transportation to and from the hospital on the day of the surgery, as you will not be able to drive yourself home.
Understanding Patients
Dr Chiam’s key interests lie in the non-surgical treatment of sports injuries and degenerative conditions, as well as the use of nutraceuticals for healthy ageing and exercise performance.
As a former athlete and a personal fitness enthusiast, he understands the needs of those who engage in an active lifestyle.
His previous support for the Singapore Olympic Foundation – Peter Lim Scholarship recipients demonstrates his personal investment in the Singapore sporting community. His care extended to national athletes, he sought to provide non-invasive treatments to aid the healing of musculoskeletal injuries and reduce the likelihood of a recurrence. He believes that these considerations are those of any athlete in need of recovery, and he hopes to provide that for his patients.
