Dr. Hughes performed a Pyloroplasty on me for my gastro problems. Nausea, bloatong, pressure, gas and recurring ulcers. I was miserable for a couple of years with the symptoms until this procedure. Within 2 weeks after the surgeryShow more I felt like my life had changed and the dark clouds of misery were gone. I can now once again eat and drink anything, finish my meals, and have NONE of the problems that were present daily prior to the procedure. I cannot more strongly recommend Dr. Hughes and his work. His bedside manner is one of the best too, a rare trait these days.
