According to the American Medical Association, the risk of serious injury or death during and after gastric bypass surgery is much lower for those surgeons who have performed at least 100 gastric bypass operations (Journal of the American Medical Association/Surgery Archives). The overall rate of complications has been reported to be almost 200% greater for patients whose surgeons have performed less than 100 gastric bypass operations as compared with those whose surgeons have performed over 100 gastric bypass operations. More alarming, is that the death rate from gastric bypass surgery has been reported to be 300% higher for those surgeons who have performed less than 100 gastric bypass surgeries as compared with those who have performed over 100.
Due to the high degree of difficulty of gastric bypass surgery and the unique high-risk nature of operating on the morbidly obese, many top bariatric surgeons believe that gastric bypass surgeries should be performed only at centers that specialize in bariatric surgery and perform gastric bypass surgeries on a regular basis.
