COMPLICATIONS - MGB or OAGB this is the place to list & discuss

COMPLICATION STICKY / LIST / All of us, please use this place to discuss any problems you may have experienced with your MGB / OAGB.

COMPLICATIONS - ISSUES - PROBLEMS

Please list here, your individual issues or complications with your MGB or OAGB surgery. We newbies and pre-surgeries want to know the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY. It is really important to go into this surgery with eyes WIDE OPEN. PLEASE tell us what issues or problems you have had, be it small or big.

In my research, I have heard just a little about these as possibles:

1. Gastritis

2. Ulcers

3. Cancer in the region (I read this in one place... don't freak)

4. Gerd, reflux, that burning sensation that comes up

5. Leaks? I haven't heard of this, but it is a possible.

and .. GO.

Not sure if you are familiar with the search feature, but this has all been discussed at length HERE.

Hi there BLERDgirl...

Yes, I do know how to search, thanks. Each TYPE of WLS has its own complications and issues. I have read many complications for the sleeve right in its spot under the specific classification for SLEEVE surgery. It was very helpful to read it right there under Gastric Sleeve. So there it is, for you, a link, the complications for the sleeve. That specific thread helped me realize that I really am moving towards the MGB / OAGB.

As you can see, it is easier to read it all in one place, specific to your surgery, the sleeve.

So THIS thread is set up to be just like that one. I would like specifically to list all of THIS SPECIFIC surgery (MGB/OSAG) to be listed by the patients here. I would like a place (as it is on all other types of WLS per Alex) to be able to go to one place and see it easily. Listing it here, others having MGB can comment directly, we can read it easier, scroll through easier without back arrowing, click, back arrowing, click. Thanks for the concern, though.
