A Warning of the Complications of Gastric Bypass Surgery
Author:
Dave Lavinsky
The more involved and more popular combination-procedure gastric bypass surgery involves stapling the stomach to make it smaller and reattaching the small intestine to bypass a portion responsible for the majority of calorie and nutrient absorption.
Gastric bypass surgery is only available to the morbidly obese (more than 100 pounds overweight) who have been obese for more than 5 years and shown a serious effort to lose their excess weight through not surgical methods such as diet and exercise.
Surgery in any form is risk-inherent and gastric bypass surgery can result in complications. Complications of gastric bypass surgery include infection, leaking of the stomach resulting from a failed staple, respiratory problems, and hernias. The most serious of these is a gastrointestinal leak that happens in 1 out of 20 cases. The resulting infection, if not caught quickly and treated accurately, can be fatal.
Complications of gastric bypass surgery rarely result in death but the death rate hovers around 1.9%. When considering this, remember that gastric bypass surgery patients are already in a very unhealthy state and their bodies are not in a condition to fight off serious infections that do sometimes occur even in routine surgery.
The risk of complications of gastric bypass surgery must be compared to the risks of living morbidly obese, which is a deadly condition that will eventually result in severe disabilities and early death. Gastric Bypass Surgery provides comprehensive information on procedure, recovery, cost and complications relating to standard, laparoscopic and mini surgeries. Gastric Bypass Surgery is the sister site of Bariatric Surgery Web.

As the number of Americans diagnosed as severely or morbidly obese continues to grow, so does the need for gastric bypass surgery. Insurance companies are increasingly aware of this medical need, and many have integrated coverage for gastric bypass surgery into their policies in cases where the surgery is deemed medically necessary. Prior to considering any sort of weight loss surgery , you should make sure that you fall within the guidelines as outlined by The National Institute of Health (NIH). Obesity, in general, is determined by one's Body Mass Index (BMI). This is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. Qualifying for Insurance Coverage To qualify as an ideal candidate for gastric bypass surgery under NIH guidelines, a patient's BMI must be 40 or higher. (A BMI of 40 is roughly 100 pounds overweight for men and 80 pounds overweight for women.) A patient with a BMI between 35 and 39.9, who has...
