Whats the mortality rate for gastric bypass surgery?
The mortality rate for gastric bypass is, in a good center, is between .2 and .4 percent. That’s 2 to 4 in a 1000. Some published articles are up to 1 to 2 percent which is 1 to 2 patients in 100. That seems pretty high for me and either they are doing very high risk surgery or there’s a problem in that program.
