Gastric sleeve surgery poses several risks that patients should be aware of. The most common gastric sleeve complications include bleeding and discomfort after surgery. Some patients may also suffer infections, blood clots, or reactions to the anesthesia. In rare cases, the sleeve may leak and require additional surgery to fix. Before choosing to undergo surgery, patients must realize that gastric sleeve surgery is irreversible. After surgery, some patients may experience stomach pain, vomiting and nausea after eating. Patients that continue to eat large meals can stretch their stomach and inhibit their weight loss. Once the stomach has stretched, additional surgery may be required to reduce the size of the stomach.
