Risks of Weight Loss Surgery.
(Go Back...)
If you are considering any type of weight loss surgery, it is
vital that you know and understand the risks of the surgery. There are both
short term side effects and this surgery can also cause some long-term effects.
Right after surgery, patients will feel some degree of discomfort. This is due
to the place of the incision. With a laparoscopic surgery, the incisions are
smaller and the healing and discomfort in the area is less than with an open
procedure.
For patients that have an open procedure, such as in a gastric bypass, there
will generally be more discomfort while the incision heals. During the first
couple of weeks, patients will only be able to tolerate a liquid diet. Anything
other than liquids can irritate the system and cause nausea, vomiting and bowel
disorders. In the following weeks more food can be added to the diet, but if too

effects. When the stomach and incision has completely healed, these side effects
generally subside. Read more...
