Story Highlights
* Study: Bariatric surgery in skilled hands is safer than first thought
* Out of 4,776 patients, only 4.3 percent experienced a serious
complication
* Sleep apnea, severe obesity, history of blood clots, and walking limits
raise risk
Eh, just the people who get the operation are most at risk. Few people
without any of those conditions undergo Bariatric Surgery.
