Michigan Gastric Bypass Surgery & Bariatric Surgery Cases

Michigan gastric bypass surgery malpractice lawyers often represent clients who suffered injuries in a gastric-bypass surgery. Gastric-Bypass surgery is an invasive surgical procedure used by surgeons on obese patients to cause weight loss and reduce appetite. The surgery is an elective surgery but often deemed a medical necessity for morbidly obese patients.

The gastric-bypass surgery involves the stapling, banding, or rerouting of the stomach and small intestines so that food and nutrition bypass (skip around) the usual physiological route that food naturally travels through the body. The most commonly performed type of gastric bypass surgery procedure involves the surgical creation of a small stomach pouch out of a portion of the stomach, and then attaching the small stomach pouch directly to the small intestine, thereby bypassing a large part of the stomach and duodenum. Not only is the newly surgically created stomach pouch too small to hold large amounts of food, but by skipping the duodenum, the body's absorption of dietary fat is reduced substantially.

Like all surgical procedures, a gastric bypass surgery is not without risk or complication. The two most common major complications of gastric bypass surgery are bleeding or leakage of gastric fluid and pulmonary embolism. While bleeding or leakage of gastric fluid occurs more commonly than pulmonary embolism, the chance of death from pulmonary embolism is much higher.

The most common major complication of gastric bypass surgery is the leakage of gastric (stomach) fluid or bleeding into the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). Blood or gastric fluid leaking into the peritoneum can cause infection and resultant inflammation of the peritoneum, a condition called peritonitis. The prompt diagnosis and proper treatment of peritonitis is essential. A doctor or surgeon's failure to diagnose and treat peritonitis in a timely manner may result in serious injury or wrongful death.

Michigan medical malpractice lawyers understand the important issues in medical malpractice claims involving gastric bypass surgery. If you suffered injuries as a result of a gastric bypass surgery, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries, including payment of medical bills for past and future treatment, pain and suffering, loss of time from work, reimbursement for continuing care, as well as other services. Cases involving death give rise to a Michigan Wrongful Death Claim.

Testimonials

The insurance company refused to pay my benefits. Mr. Buckfire filed a lawsuit against them and made them pay every penny that they owed... Every time I see my doctor, I thank her again for the referral to Buckfire & Buckfire.

Michael M.
Southern California

Because of his efforts, we proved that the other driver was at fault and the driver's insurance company paid a significant settlement for our injury claims... Hiring his firm to represent my son and myself was the best decision I could have possibly made. Many thanks for the great work.

My husband died when a truck left the roadway and struck him. He was off the shoulder of the roadway helping another motorist pull his car out of a snow bank The work that they did helped me settle my Michigan wrongful death case for $1,600,000.00. Their knowledge of law was second to none and they hired the best experts to prove my case.
