| Description: | Although many patients have few problems after bariatric surgery, there is the potential for complications, both small and large, just as there is with any surgical procedure. Minor complications can include dietary intolerance, hair loss, dry skin, menstrual irregularities, or pain. Other complications that may occur include dumping, stenosis, a narrowing of the gastric pouchs outlet, vitamin or mineral deficiencies and anemia, gallstones, and vomiting caused by stretching the pouch. |
