Virginia Beach is a busy place when summer time hits. Not only for tourist, but for the residents themselves. Everything has one thing on their mind. Hitting the beach in style. Many of these people may be battle obesity and need a quick way to fit into their new bathing suits. These people will choose to take the easy route of gastric bypass surgery. This procedure reduces stomach size by 90%, what could go wrong one may say.
The successful results provide instant weight loss that needs to be followed with a healthy diet to be able to keep the weight off. Heres where things get sketchy... only around 50% of people who have gastric bypass surgery report the weight being off after 5 years. For anyone that even considered the surgery here are your risk and percentages:
2% - Major wound infection 20% - Incisional Hernia 12% - Stomal Stenosis 9% - Ulcer 2% - Gallstones .5% - Blood clots in the lungs 1.5% - Leak from the hookup/peritonitis 1% - Death
Taking all of that into consideration your 50% success rate turns into a horrible 3.2xe^-12 (.0000000000032%) chance of a complete success. No weight gained back after surgery, no side effects at all seen, just a complete success. Some people learned the risks the hard way...
In 2008 two sons in New York had their mother die of liver failure due to malnutrition. The mother was 36 and had her intestines rerouted and her stomach stapled to only contain two tablespoons of food. Why a doctor O.K.'d this surgery is morally unjust, plus it was stated that she was not in the right health as it was to undergo any surgery of its kind. The boys were awarded $16.8 million in losses.
Locally, a Virginia Beach resident underwent surgery. An error was made during surgery which resulted in two more operations having to be performed to correct the error. The doctors and staff were fined $500,000 for their medical malpractice and some even lost their careers. As for the resident the scars from surgery are reminder enough of what may go wrong with these surgeries.
Wither this has happen to you or not, being prepared to face the situation makes your decision in the tough time an easier one. Make sure you have a Virginia Beach Medical Malpractice Attorney fight along side of you to be compensated for these unjust crimes.
