What is one of the top 3 causes of death after bariatric surgery?

6118 patients underwent primary bariatric surgery. 18 deaths (0.3%) occurred within 30-days of surgery. The most common cause of death was sepsis (33% of deaths), followed by cardiac causes (28%) and pulmonary embolism (17%).

What happens 20 years after bariatric surgery?

Long-Term Benefits of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery 20 Years After the Procedure. Most patients maintain a healthy weight compared to their pre-surgery levels, experiencing better mobility and energy. This long-term weight management helps prevent weight-related diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

What is the safest and most effective bariatric surgery?

A sleeve gastrectomy is one of the safest weight loss surgeries. Its usually done laparoscopically (a minimally invasive procedure done with a small camera as a guide), so youll have smaller incisions and quicker healing than with some other surgeries.

What are the ethical issues with bariatric surgery?

Too strict inclusion criteria and guidelines, unbalanced advertisement, and discrimination of gender, fitness, age and ethnicity may lead to an unjust distribution of bariatric surgery [2]. Another important issue is medical tourism in bariatric surgery.

What is the leading cause of death in bariatric patients?

Pneumonia and respiratory causes are the largest causes of long-term mortality after bariatric surgery. The only factor found to have a detrimental effect on all-cause mortality was age at operation which reduced survival. Hypertension, IHD, and smoking are indirect factors that are associated with mortality.

What is the most serious immediate complication of bariatric surgery?

Because gastric bypass is more complicated, its riskier. As with most abdominal surgeries, it carries risks such as infection, excessive bleeding, breathing problems, and blood clots.

Which organ is impacted by bariatric surgery?

Blood clots. Blood clots are possible after weight loss surgery because of how the blood flows and clots after surgery. Blood clots often start in the lower leg (deep vein thrombosis) or may sometimes dislodge and travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism).
