Risks
As with any major surgery, there are serious risks associated with bariatric surgery. While we take many precautionary measures, sometimes complications occur. We feel it is important for all patients who are considering bariatric surgery to be familiar with those risks. Risks vary depending on the type of procedure, so check with your doctor. Some risks include:
Gallstones
Incisional hernia
Stomal stenosis (scarring of the opening between pouch and intestine)
Ulcer
Wound infection
Small bowel obstruction
Blood clots in lungs
Post-operative bleeding
Deep vein thrombosis
Splenectomy
Death
