Obesity Surgery Death Rates

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

" But in a study of 16,155 Medicare patients who underwent obesity

surgery, more than 5 percent of men and nearly 3 percent of women

aged 35 to 44 were dead within a year. And slightly higher rates were

found in patients 45 to 54. Among patients 65 to 74, nearly 13

percent of men and about 6 percent of women died. In patients 75 and

older, half of the men and 40 percent of the women died. "
