- Not much suitable for vegetarian patients and smokers.
- Dyspepsia (5.6% of patients)
- Dumping syndrome ( Dumping syndrome occurs when food from stomach moves to small intestine too quickly. one can prevent dumping syndrome by making changes in diet after surgery. Eating smaller meals and limiting food with high sugar content also helps)
- Marginal ulcers and malnutrition can occur if proper diet or instructions are not followed post-surgery.
Complications that can happen include bleeding, infection, internal herniation, malnutrition and a leak from the site of anastomosis i.e. gastrojejunostomy resulting in an infection or abscess, deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. However, at our center, the total complication rate is less than 1% which is similar to other procedures, like a gall bladder or hernia surgery.
