Benefits far outweigh risk. All Surgeries have risk , mostly 2nd to anesthesia, not the Surgery itself.
Risk of complications such as leak or bleeding are less than 2%. Even less in more experienced hands.
There are risks to every surgery and the risks change depending on your specific circumstances. A bariatric surgeon is best to explain the risks to you in detail.
