What are the risks of gastric bypass surgery?
Jun 7, 2015

Dr. Jihad Irani Family Medicine
This is a LONG topic and needs to be discussed with your doctor face-to-face. In brief, there are some risks related to the surgery itself, and the surgeon can tell you about them, and some long term risks related to not absorbing well, like deficiencies in certain vitamins, anemia, etc. In addition, there is a way you should be eating after the surgery. As I told you, your question deserves sitting with your physician and discussing.
