Will there be any sequelae after cutting the stomach to lose weight at 190 pounds

190 pound gastric incision for weight loss may result in sequelae, such as indigestion, malnutrition, gastric incision fistula, abdominal infection, and abdominal bleeding.

1. Dysdigestion: After gastrectomy, the volume of the stomach decreases, which can easily cause discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, and nausea.

2. Malnutrition: After gastrectomy, the digestive function of the stomach is affected, and it cannot fully digest and absorb the nutrients of food, which can easily lead to malnutrition.

3. Gastric incision fistula: For gastric resection and postoperative weight loss, sleeve gastrectomy is generally adopted, where most of the stomach is removed and locally sutured. A very small number of patients may experience gastric incision fistula, leading to postoperative abdominal pain and tenderness.

4. Abdominal infection: especially those with diabetes, it is easy to cause abdominal infection after surgery, leading to abdominal pain and fever. Strict aseptic operation during surgery and controlling blood sugar before surgery can prevent infection.

5. Abdominal bleeding: Gastric resection for weight loss requires ligation of blood vessels to complete the surgery, but a very small number of patients may experience bleeding again due to the shedding of scabbed blood vessels or electrocoagulation of blood vessels.

There may also be complications such as dizziness, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, and sweating. It is recommended to follow medical advice, cooperate with physicians to standardize treatment, and minimize sequelae as much as possible.
