Bariatric Surgery: Early Risks & Warning Signs

Описание: In our Bariatric Friday episode on bariatric surgery risks and complications, Dr. Irgau and Kemal Erkan discuss what patients truly need to know before surgery—without fear-mongering and without minimizing real risk.

We break down the most common early complications after bariatric surgery (especially within the first 30 days), including bleeding, blood clots, leaks, and dehydration—what causes them, how rare they are in high-quality centers, and how most of these risks are preventable with proper preparation and follow-up care.

Dr. Irgau also explains how to recognize warning signs after surgery (red flags), why early reporting matters, and why long-term success depends on discipline, consistency, nutrition, and ongoing patient engagement.
