A)Possible postoperative complications for a procedure such as a gastric bypass include anastomosis leak with peritonitis, abdominal wall hernia, gallstones, wound infections, deep venous thrombosis, nutritional deficiencies, and gastrointestinal (GI)symptoms. If the client recognizes a need to be alert to the signs of infection and malnutrition, this shows awareness of some of the complications that might be expected. Mild GI issues are not the only significant complication of this surgery. The client likely should continue the exercise program. Eating meals high in simple carbohydrates can bring on dumping syndrome, a complication in which stomach contents move rapidly through the small intestine, drawing fluid into the intestine by osmosis.
