What is the worst thing that can happen after obesity surgery?
The worst thing that can happen is that someone can die. This is unusual, and the chance that it can happen is reduced by selecting physicians that specialize in bariatric surgical procedures and are experienced in handling complications that can arise during obesity surgery. Our CHRIAS bariatric surgery specialists certainly meet these criteria. Potential complications include, but are not limited to, the risk of anesthesia, infection, bleeding, blood clots, hernias, and wound complications. This is not stated to frighten you, but to remind you that this is a big decision and not without risk.
