Colonoscopy preparation is more straightforward than most people expect.

In the hours before your procedure, you’ll be guided through a bowel cleansing solution and a short fasting period to ensure a clear and safe examination. Your doctor will provide exact timing and instructions so you know what to do step by step.

If you’re unsure about the prep or worried about it, speak to G&L Surgical—we’ll walk you through it so you feel fully prepared before the day.

Recovering from lipoma removal is usually more straightforward than most people expect.

Most patients are able to go home the same day, with mild discomfort that improves over the first few days and normal daily activities can often be resumed shortly after.

If you’ve been thinking about removing a lipoma but are unsure about downtime or recovery, it’s worth getting it properly assessed so you know exactly what to expect for your case.

Speak to G&L Surgical to understand your treatment options and recovery plan.

Screening colonoscopy and diagnostic colonoscopy may sound similar, but they are done for different reasons—and this can affect both cost and insurance coverage.

Screening is usually done when there are no symptoms, while diagnostic colonoscopy is recommended when symptoms or concerns are already present.

If you’re considering a colonoscopy and are unsure about costs or insurance coverage, speak to our team to understand which type of colonoscopy you need and what your estimated out-of-pocket costs may be.

🚽 Still sitting on the toilet for a while? Try to keep it under 10 minutes.

A recent article by The Straits Times highlights that straining or sitting too long can increase your risk of haemorrhoids (piles).
These are very common — and while not dangerous, they can cause:
• Pain or discomfort when sitting
• Itching or swelling
• Bleeding during bowel movements

Over time, this can start to affect your daily life, from exercise to even simple routines.

💡 What helps:
✔ Don’t strain
✔ Go when you feel the urge
✔ Keep toilet time under 10 minutes
✔ Stay hydrated and eat fibre

“It’s just a small lump… should I worry?”

We hear this very often from patients.
A recent article on hernias highlights an important truth. Many people ignore hernias because they are not painful at the start. But over time, they can slowly enlarge or cause discomfort, especially with activity.

The good news is:
✔️ Not all hernias need urgent surgery
✔️ But they should be properly assessed early
✔️ Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery today allows faster recovery and smaller scars

What matters most is knowing when to watch, and when to treat.

If you notice a bulge, discomfort, or something that “comes and goes,” don’t ignore it, early evaluation makes a big difference.
