Gastric bypass surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is becoming an increasingly popular procedure for those coping with diabetes and other health issues associated with obesity. The surgery is a way to help lose and control weight and has also been found to control diabetes.
However, if there is a mistake or complication with bariatric procedures, patients could be left severely injured and with lifelong complications.
While there are many benefits to gastric bypass unfortunately many health issues arise as a result of it. Surgeons, some who have little or no experience with bariatric surgery, have flocked to performing the procedure due to its lucrative benefits, as it generally costs $25,000-$30,000.
COMMON INJURIES AND COMPLICATIONS FROM GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY
Along with the risk of being operated on by an inexperienced surgeon, post-op leaves patients open to even more risks including:
- Post operative leakage
- Gall stones
- Kidney damage
- Malnutrition and starvation
