·         Excessive bleeding
·         Infection
·         Adverse reactions to anesthesia
·         Blood clots
·         Lung or breathing problems
·         Leaks in your gastrointestinal system
Longer term risks and complications of a BPD/DS may include:
·         Bowel obstruction
·         Dumping syndrome, causing diarrhea, nausea or vomiting
·         Gallstones
·         Hernias
·         Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
·         Malnutrition
·         Stomach perforation
·         Ulcers
·         Vomiting
Rarely, complications of a BPD/DS can be fatal.
