RISKS OF SURGICAL WEIGHT LOSS
All surgeries involve risks. Complications from bariatric surgery—such as wound infections, abdominal bleeding, staple/suture leakage, respiratory failure, pulmonary problems or other surgery-related issues—occur in less than 5% of the procedures performed. In addition, the average mortality rate for patients undergoing bariatric surgery is less than 1%.
Longer term negative affects of bariatric surgery can include such issues as ulcers, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, temporary hair thinning and symptomatic gallstones. Depending on the type of procedure, additional negative affects can include abdominal cramping, faintness, headaches, etc. However, many of these risks can be eliminated and/or minimized with a proper nutritional diet and regular exercise.
In short, the health benefits you can achieve from bariatric surgery far outweigh any potential risks. |
