Weight Loss Surgery FAQs

Bariatric Surgery FAQs

Thinking about bariatric surgery but just not sure? Get answers to everything you want to know about bariatric surgery.

Is Weight Loss Surgery Safe?

In this day and age, weight loss surgery is considered very safe.

For example, gastric bypass carries the same risks as a hip replacement. Of course, some procedures carry more potential risks than others. The gastric sleeve or sleeve gastrectomy has the lowest risk of all bariatric procedures.

Risks depend on the patient’s BMI as a higher BMI carries more risks. It is also important to note that comorbidities can affect risks. Diseases and conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, hyperlipidemia, previous strokes or attacks, and previous abdominal surgeries can add more risk to bariatric surgery.

Risks also depend on the surgeon’s expertise. Dr. Beltre is fellowship trained and has completed thousands of bariatric procedures since 1998 when he first started doing weight loss surgery. Dr. Beltre is the bariatric director of an MBSAQIP-qualified center at Health Central Hospital. To keep qualifications, the program has to report all complications to a national data bank.

Our results have been on par with some of the best-qualified centers in the United States.
