Toledo Gastric Bypass Surgery Claims

Although gastric bypass surgery is on the rise and many people are using it as a way to get healthy, lose weight, and hopefully save them from weight-related medical problems, there also have been some serious injuries and even deaths surrounding the surgery because of the negligence of certain doctors. During the gastric bypass surgery, a small pouch is made in the stomach. This restricts the amount of food the individual can take in and so they eat much less than they were previously able to.

The reason for the rapid and extreme weight loss is that so many fewer calories are consumed than were previously being eaten so the weight comes off quickly.

There are risks associated with this surgery, but a medical malpractice lawsuit can occur when there is a mistake made on behalf of the medical personnel that caused serious harm to the patient. Our Toledo medical malpractice lawyers at the Charles Boyk Law Offices, LLC represent those patients and the families of patients who have suffered severe injuries or even death as a result of a medical mistake made by any of the medical staff.

Gastric Bypass surgery is meant to save a person from dying as a result of weight-related issues. When things go wrong, such is not the case.

Errors during the surgery could turn fatal.
