Have you suffered from a negligent gastric band procedure?
If something has gone wrong during or after your weight loss surgery, we can provide you with legal advice on any potential weight loss surgery claim. Unfortunately each type of weight loss surgery carries a high risk of complications. Some of the complications are recognised and cannot always be avoided, but other errors would be considered negligent and can result in a claim being awarded.
Gastric Band verses Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric band procedures are a popular form of weight loss surgery undergone by thousands of individuals each year. During the procedure, an adjustable band is used to reduce the size of the stomach so that it is unable to hold large amounts of food. The procedure is performed with the help of a tiny camera; small incisions are made and the band is put on the upper stomach area to create a pouch which accepts food intake. Because digestion is slowed down, this causes the patient to feel fuller for longer.
Gastric bypass surgery is slightly different and is often a procedure suited to patients who are morbidly obese. Staples are put into the stomach to form a pouch and the intestine is bypassed and moved to form an attachment with the newly made pouch. Both kinds of surgery carry risks and there are a number of ways in which you can experience a surgical error.
