"For the first time, surgeons have linked internal hernia with excessive and rapid weight loss after undergoing minimally invasive surgical treatment of morbid obesity. (Internal hernia is a defect in the abdominal cavity that allows abdominal structures, such as the intestines, to move out of their natural position. However, the condition can be corrected surgically before it leads to potentially serious bowel obstruction.)"Yippee! Another surgery can "fix" it.
"The surgical group also is counseling patients who have lost an excessive amount of weight in a short period of time after a bariatric operation to consult a surgeon if they have suspicious symptoms. 'We caution patients if they start to develop episodes of abdominal pain or bilious vomiting that they should consult their surgeon and go through a workup,' Dr. Bour said."Yummy "abdominal pain or bilious vomiting."
Wonder why you almost never hear about this stuff in the MSM.
Whatever.
Stay tuned.
They will link more complications of this malpractice "for the first time" as time passes.
You can bet your fat ass on that.

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, refers to the various surgical procedures performed to treat obesity by modification of the gastrointestinal tract to reduce nutrient intake and/or absorption. In general, bariatric surgery is successful in producing "often substantial" weight loss, though one must consider operative risk "including mortality" and side effects before making the decision to pursue this treatment option. Usually, these procedures can be carried out safely.

Hi, Hesslei and welcome to Fitness Watch.
Bariatric surgery is clearly malpractice (or here) and, IMHO, almost always unnecessary.
Sadly it is spreading to the young, as an officially sanctioned form of child abuse.
Clearly, there are better ways to achieve weight reduction.
Clearly, expert diet advice is the number one cause of diet failure. (see here, here, here and here)
Clearly, the experts profit from offering doomed to fail diet advice. (see here, here, here and here)
Be well.
