Urinary Tract Infection

It could cause you to have UTI’s.

6

Bowel Obstruction

Bariatric surgery could also cause you to have bowel obstruction.

5

Obstruction of the Stomach Outlet

Do you see the size of your pinky finger? Well, that is about the size of the outlet post surgery. You need to learn how to chew everything you swallow to be smaller than that. You do not have acid in the pouch, so if you swallow anything that is smaller, it is going to get stuck.

Nutrition

It has been stated that bariatric surgery can cause one to have chronic nutritional problems

3

Protein Deficiency

You can develop protein deficiency. This doesn’t sound so great, does it?

Famous Quotes
