While there are definitely many types of complications associated with gastric bypass surgery, overall it is quite a safe procedure. The previous posts have mentioned those complications. However, it is important to note that complications are rare, and most of them are not life-threatening. As the surgeon explains in this video, most gastric bypass complications are mild enough that the patient can be sent home one day after surgery. If complications do arise, and they are less likely to arise as time goes on, then the patient can go back to the hospital to be examined and treated. The likelihood of the complication being life-threatening is extremely low.
