Weight Loss Surgery

Weight Loss Surgery

A recent study has found that four out of every ten people who experience weight loss surgery experience complications within half a year. Various of these complications are so solemn they have to go to emergency rooms.

The regular cost of the surgery and six months of follow-up is $29,925. But for patients with complications that require re-admission to hospital, the average cost is $65,032.


Precedent studies research that ten to twenty percent of people had problems after the surgery. But this study done by federal researchers found that forty percent had complications within 180 days of surgery. The most common ailments include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal hernias, infections, pneumonia, respiratory failure and leaking of gastric juices
