How safe is weight loss surgery?

Nowadays, surgical techniques are being developed and obesity surgeries do not have higher risks than other abdominal surgeries. However, the risks may vary depending on your general health condition, your age, the type of surgery and the amount of weight you need to lose. Like all other abdominal surgeries, bariatric surgery may carry risks such as bleeding, infection, blood clots in the legs, lung problems, stroke or heart attack, anesthetic complications, and intestinal obstruction. These risks are very rare and greater in morbidly obese patients.

To maximize patient safety, it is important that you provide your obesity surgeon with all the necessary information about your health status and history. We provide complex pre-operative internal, gastrointestinal and cardiological diagnoses to all patients to meet the highest safety standards.
