Bariatric surgery side effects

You can expect some little bleeding in any procedure but it is notsupposed to continue long after the surgery is finished

This may cause hemorrhage on the skin level or internally

Bleeding in the spleen may be stopped but in case it is not successful,the spleen can be removed and still live normally

You may require a blood thinner to prevent blood clots which may laterinterfere with the usual blood clotting hence putting you at a higherrisk of excessive bleeding

Excessive bleeding

This is one of the common bariatric surgery side effects that occurs once in every 12 cases of the surgery

Gallstones are cholesterol and chemical aggregates that clog up the gall bladder

Include intense abdominal pain, vomiting, jaundice and nausea in some people while others do not feel any symptoms

Gallstones development

The band may slip out of place and cause the stomach pouch to be bigger than it should be

You may start feeling nauseated, vomit and suffer from heartburns and only a further surgery can correct this

Gastric band slippage

Stoma is the opening that connects the stomach pouch and the small intestine

A balloon attached to an endoscope is directed to the point and inflated to remove the obstruction

Blockage of stoma

Your skin excessively loose and folded around the back, breasts, limbs, abdomen and hips

These folds may happen after twelve to eighteen months after the surgery and may harbor moisture causing infections and rashes

A cosmetic surgery can help to remove and tighten the excess skin flaps

Excess skin

This means difficulty swallowing and is a side effect of stomach restriction

Dysphagia may worsen to the point of finding difficulty in swallowing fluids

This can be corrected with an endoscopy

Dysphagia

Death risk is higher in people with severe lung and heart disease or patients undergoing a revision of gastric bypass procedure

Infections and travel of blood clots to the lungs are the most common causes of death after the surgery
