Signs of Gastric Bypass Malpractice

Determining whether you are the victim of gastric bypass malpractice is not an easy task. You not only need to identify whether you received a substandard level of medical care, but you also need to prove that this substandard care was the proximate cause of your injuries, complications, and suffering.

Some common signs of gastric bypass malpractice include:

• Your doctor failed to respond immediately to your complaints about problems after surgery
• You had post-operative leaking that resulted in infection
• You experienced excessive pain shortly after the surgery
• You were adversely affected by serious complications such as clotting, difficult breathing, kidney problems, thiamine deficiency, Wernicke's encephalopathy, or Korsakoff syndrome
• Your doctor did not monitor your post-operative recovery
