Risks and side effects:

The charge for obesity surgery at Delhi in India is very low when compared to that in many western countries. A common risk of restrictive operations is vomiting caused by the small stomach being overly stretched by food particles that have not been chewed well. Gastric bypass operations also may cause “dumping syndrome,” whereby stomach contents move too rapidly through the small intestine. Symptoms include nausea, weakness, sweating, faintness, and, occasionally, diarrhea after eating, as well as the inability to eat sweets without becoming so weak and sweaty that the patient must lie down until the symptoms pass. The more extensive the bypass operation, the greater is the risk for complications and nutritional deficiencies. Patients with extensive bypasses of the normal digestive process require not only close monitoring, but also life-long use of special foods and medications. Ten to 20 percent of patients who have weight-loss operations require follow-up operations to correct complications. Abdominal hernias (ruptures) are the most common complications requiring follow-up surgery.

 

 Less common complications include breakdown of the staple line and stretched stomach outlets. More than one-third of obese patients who have gastric surgery develop gallstones. Gallstones are clumps of cholesterol and other matter that form in the gallbladder. During rapid or substantial weight loss a person’s risk of developing gallstones is increased. Gallstones can be prevented with supplemental bile salts taken for the first 6 months after surgery. Nearly 30 percent of patients who have weight-loss surgery develop nutritional deficiencies such as anemia, osteoporosis, and metabolic bone disease. These deficiencies can be avoided if vitamin and mineral intakes are maintained. Women of childbearing age should avoid pregnancy until their weight becomes stable because rapid weight loss and nutritional deficiencies can harm a developing fetus. Common side effects/discomforts include: nausea, vomiting, bloating, diarrhea, excessive sweating, increased gas and dizziness. Visit this site for obesity surgery at Delhi in India.
