Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 In another study of 66,000 obese patients, about 3 percent of gastric-bypass patients (under 40) died in the 13.6 years after the surgery ( this is 1,980 people ! ), compared with 14 percent of obese patients who were not treated surgically. ( but if treated with healthy diet and exercise, health would be achieved naturally ! ! ! ) They are planting the seed that you HAVE to have surgery to to loose the weight ! BRAINWASHING ! ! ! About 10-20 percent of patients undergoing stomach bypass require follow-up operations to correct complications, ( this is 6,600-13,200 people ! ) the most common complaints being abdominal hernias. More than one-third of patients who have gastric bypass surgery develop gallstones. ( this is 22,000 people ! ) Complication rates in the early post-operative period, such as infection, dehiscence, leaks from staple breakdown, stomal stenosis, ulcers and deep thrombo-phlebitis may be as high as ten percent or more. ( this is at least 6,600 people ! ) However, the combined risk of the most serious complications (gastrointestinal leak and deep venous thrombosis) is less than one per cent. ( 660 people ! ) Over the long term, the health complications of gastric bypass may include a variety of conditions and problems. According to one 14-year follow-up study of stomach bypass patients, the morbidity rates were as follows: vitamin B12 deficiency (39.9 percent), ( 26,334 people ! ) incisional hernia, (23.9 percent), ( 15, 774 people ! ) depression (23.7 percent), (15,642 people ! ) staple line failure (15 percent), ( this is 9,900 people ! ) gastritis ( 13.2 percent), (8,712 people ! ) cholecystitis (11.4 percent), ( 7,524 people ! ) anastomotic problems (9.8 percent) ( 6,468 people ! ), dehydration malnutrition (5.8 percent)( 3,828 people ! ), dilated pouch (3.2 percent) ( 2,112 people). The health risks of revisional surgery are higher. Now with the percentage of risks stated , do you want to risk your life ? ? ? to live a life with side effects ? Start the year off right.
