The surgery of LAPBAND was outlined to me by Dr. Gazayerli and/or his staff including but not limited to the peri-operative complications of bleeding, infection, injury to hollow organs (e.g. intestinal, biliary or renal tract) or solid organs (e.g. Liver or spleen) needing immediate or delayed open surgery to repair and control such injury. 

Specific anesthetic complications will be outlined to the patients by the anesthesiologist including but not limited to respiratory, renal, neuro-muscular or cardiovascular complications as well as the possibility of blood clots not prevented by the measures taken to prevent them; as well as delayed complications including but not limited to infection, erosion, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), slipping of the band or obstruction requiring removal or replacement or endoscopic relief of the obstruction as well as any other complications related to or aggravated by the patient’s pre-existing condition, known or unsuspected that could result in hospitalization, debility or even death.
