In this way, possible risks are minimized.
Complications occur in about 10% of patients who undergo gastric bypass surgery. More serious complications are rare.

Common and acceptable complications can be treated. In general, we can list the risks that may occur as follows;

• In bariatric surgery, as in many other abdominal surgeries, complications such as bleeding, infection, intestinal obstruction, hernia and complications of general anesthesia may occur after the procedure.
• The most serious of all risks is leakage, which can occur at the junction of the stomach and small intestine. When such a symptom occurs, a second surgery is often necessary for the patient.
