  • Bleeding or blood clots (DVT)
  • Adverse reactions to anesthesia
  • Respiratory issues post-surgery

Bariatric Specific Risks

  • Staple line leaks (rare but serious)
  • Nutritional deficiencies (requires vitamins)
  • Dumping syndrome (nausea from sugar)
  • Gallstones due to rapid weight loss

Emergency Protocol

When to call us immediately

  • Persistent vomiting (unable to keep liquids down)
  • Fever >101°F not controlled by medication
  • Severe abdominal pain worsening over time
  • Shortness of breath or chest pain
  • Redness/pus draining from incision sites
