    I had a friend who went through a wound infection, and that was quite a nightmare for her. You could also experience blood clots after the surgery.

    Aside from the infection and the blood clot, there are cases where the sleeve leaks after the medical staples come loose or tear apart. This will cause your stomach acid to leak and you will most probably need another surgery to correct the situation.

    I think that's about the clear dangers for now. IT is a surgery and other things could go wrong, but I think it's safe to say that gastric sleeve surgery is a relatively low risk procedure.
