Most weight loss surgery is considered to be generally safe because it helps to decrease the risk of Diabetes and heart disease; however, there is a risk of severe complications during and after surgery similar to other major operations. Patients at higher risk for complications during or after surgery are extremely obese patients, patients with a history of blood clots, patients that have difficulties with everyday activities, and patients with Sleep apnea.
