Are there possible complications with gastric banding?
The risk for post-operative complications is very, very low. Of course it exists,, but so does being hit by a car while crossing the street. The most important thing is not really the surgery itself. This is very straight forward and simple. The factor determining final outcome is the patient compliance. The patient has to work with the band, listen to it and behave accordingly . Patients who fight the band are not doing as well as those who are compliant.
