Medical Malpractice

Gastric Bypass Malpractice

People who struggle with weight loss and fail repeatedly at dieting sometime turn to more drastic measures like gastric bypass (weight loss) surgery.

But, as with any other type of surgery, careless doctors and negligent medical practices can turn this attempt at better health, and a healthier lifestyle, into a medical nightmare.

Here are the common signs of gastric bypass surgery malpractice:

• Your doctor failed to respond immediately to your complaints about problems after surgery.
• You had post-operative leaking that resulted in infection.
• You experienced excessive pain shortly after the surgery.
• You were adversely affected by serious complications such as clotting, difficult breathing, or kidney problems.
• Your doctor did not monitor your post-operative recovery.
