The most common types of gastric bypass surgery are performed for purposes of losing weight. These drastic weight loss procedures use the creation of a small stomach pouch to restrict food intake and decrease the body's ability to absorb nutrients from food. Unfortunately, ineffective results are common and further surgery is often recommended. But each new surgery is riskier than the one before. Unfortunately, doctors sometimes do not give all of the necessary information and warnings to the patient prior to the surgery. The patient comes in not knowing all of the risks involved. Subsequently, he or she is severely injured or dies from undiagnosed leaks or post-surgical infections. When this happens, compensation is due. Our trial lawyers, Wilson Smith and Robert Jenkins, have experience handling medical malpractice cases involving weight loss surgery in Georgia. In fact, they spent years defending doctors and their insurers against such personal injury claims. This background now provides valuable knowledge and a unique perspective to our work in helping the people who really need help the most—people just like you.
