According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), wound prob
lems and complications from blood clots are common aftereffects of
gastric bypass and gastroplasty surgery. The NIH has also reported that
those undergoing surgical treatment for obesity have had substantial
nutritional and metabolic complications, gastritis, esophagitis, outlet
stenosis, and abdominal hernias. More than 10 percent required an
other operation to fix problems resulting from the first surgery.9
Another tempting solution is liposuction. Studies show that lipo
suction begets a plethora of side effects, the main one being death!
A recent survey of all 1,200 actively practicing North American
board-certified plastic surgeons confirmed that there are about 20
deaths for every 100,000 liposuctions, whereas the generally accept
able mortality rate for elective surgery is 1 in 100,000.10 Com
pared with the 16.4 per 100,000 mortality rate of U.S. motor vehicle
accidents, liposuction is not a benign procedure. Liposuction is
dangerous.
