When its summer time, everyone wants to be at Virginia Beach. Tourist and residents alike all have one thing in common. They want to look their best at the beach. Some of these people may be obese and opt to take the shortcut, gastric bypass surgery. This operation reduces stomach size by 90%, what could go wrong with that?
Successful results will provide instant weight loss and can be kept off with a proper diet. This is where things start to get bleak... Only 50% of people who have gastric bypass surgery performed keep the weight off after 5 years. For anyone even attempting the surgery here is a quick list of side effects that may occur:
2% - Major wound infection 20% - Incisional Hernia 12% - Stomal Stenosis 9% - Ulcer 2% - Gallstones .5% - Blood clots in the lungs 1.5% - Leak from the hookup/peritonitis 1% - Death
So after taking all of these factors into consideration, your 50% chance of successful surgery turns into a 3.2xe^-12 (.0000000000032%) of complete success. No weight gained back, no side effect, just what the operation is meant to do. For the other percentage of people that had side effects heres there story.
In 2008 two sons in New York had their mother die of liver failure due to malnutrition. The mother was 36 and had her intestines rerouted and her stomach stapled to only contain two tablespoons of food. Why a doctor O.K.'d this surgery is morally unjust, plus it was stated that she was not in the right health as it was to undergo any surgery of its kind. The boys were awarded $16.8 million in losses.
Locally, a Virginia Beach resident underwent surgery. An error was made during surgery which resulted in two more operations having to be performed to correct the error. The doctors and staff were fined $500,000 for their medical malpractice and some even lost their careers. As for the resident the scars from surgery are reminder enough of what may go wrong with these surgeries.
Wither this has happen to you or not, being prepared to face the situation makes your decision in the tough time an easier one. Make sure you have a Virginia Beach Medical Malpractice Attorney fight along side of you to be compensated for these unjust crimes. - 31397
