What are the risks of death and complications gastric bypass for me? I already know I'm doing and I'm about to go through therapy. Here are some details that might be useful:
aec I am 15 years old.
aec I'm 330 pounds.
aec I'm 6'5 ".

Please give me an estimate of what my chances of death or major complications are! I really want to know!

The chances of dying during gastric bypass surgery are very slim. The procedure is very safe. Each patient is different, so the chances or complications differ. Much of it has to do with what you're in shape before the surgery. Your doctor will take all that into consideration and tell you what complications can occur. At your age, they can not even consider surgery. Your body is going through many changes.

Consult your doctor and ask him to refer you to a bariatric surgeon. The surgeon determine if you are a good candidate and probably put you on a weight loss program first. The process of the date of your initial consultation and when the transaction takes place may be several months.

I had gastric bypass three years ago and now head of the local support group for patients with weight loss. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

I do not know much about it, but because of modern advances, this surgery is actually quite strong! Two days before receiving surgery, you are supposed to refrain from eating. Most people who die or experience complications have eaten before the surgery, lied and said they did not.
