Weight loss surgery carries real risks. As many as 10% of people have complications afterward. Usually problems are only unpleasant or inconvenient, and might cause some pain and discomfort, or require additional surgeries, including:

Nausea, vomiting, and diarrheaWound infectionsAbdominal hernias

Serious complications do occur after weight loss surgery. Although rare -- happening about 3% of the time -- they can sometimes be life-threatening:

Blood clot to the lungs (pulmonary embolism)Leaks in the new gut connectionsBleeding ulcersHeart attacks

About 1 in 400 people die from weight loss surgery complications at thirty days. The risk is higher for people over age 60. Having bariatric surgery at a center with very experienced surgeons reduces this risk.

Even after successful weight loss surgery, other problems are common:

Gallstones, often requiring gallbladder removalVitamin deficiencies or malnutrition, from poor absorptionExcess skin, requiring surgical removal (body contouring)

Yes, there are some of the risks evolved in the surgery as nausea, vomiting, GERD, etc. But most of them are because of improper or in-adequate diet plan. So this can be done with the help of proper knowledge, guidance. And this can be gained from Lap Band Solution Book. Know more from : http://www.lapbandsolutionbook.com
