Success stories on the gastric bypass are everywhere, but how about the fatalities from the procedure? Barely mentioned in the magazines and newspapers, there is a serious risk carried by the gastric bypass and that risk is a 1 in 50 chance of you dieing within 1 month of the surgery - that certainly puts the frights up me. The study by Washington University is shocking to say the least. The figure is apparently four times as many fatalities when patients are in the hands of inexperienced surgeons.

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 22 (HealthDay News) - Confirming what surgeons say they've known for years, loss surgeries reduce patients' risk for early death. A U.S. study of almost 16, term mortality dropped 40 percent for those who opted for gastric bypass. And a Swedish study of more than 4, 000 obese people found that death rates fell by 29 percent for those who had gastric bypass or lap band surgeries versus those who did not.
Thinkpad My personal opinion is that if you're morbidly obese and your health is in immediate danger and your doctor suggests it as an option then research, research and research again. The Internet's a big place and there are many places to go and talk to professionals in the real world. If you do decide to go ahead with gastric bypass surgery then you must find out all of the statistics and the experience of the surgeon or surgeons that will be operating on you.
Sixty of the patients in the study had gastric banding, and 46 underwent gastric bypass. The researchers found that after 30 days, 78 percent of the patients who had gastric banding suffered complications, including dehydration and vomiting, compared with 28 percent of those who underwent gastric bypass surgery. a BMI decrease of 9.8 points, compared with 26.5 for patients who had gastric bypass.
