Short Term Complications

Dr. Dovec and Hannah break down the potential, albeit uncommon, complications that can happen in the short term after bariatric surgery. Your favorite doctor and dietitian duo will explain why these can happen, what you can do to help prevent them in the future, and what you should do if they do happen (spoiler alert- call your team!). Don't worry, they only get a little nerdy and are here to assuage any fears you may have about leaks, bleeding, nausea, and more. DoctorXDietitian does not replace medical advice. Seek the help of your health care professional if you have questions related to your condition. We strive for patients to achieve healthier, happier, longer lives through weight loss surgery.
