WLOX also spoke with medical expert Dr. Donald Balder, a certified general surgeon and founder of the Mississippi Institute of Weight Loss Surgery in Gulfport, who said he’s “never heard” of a bariatric patient dying in the while in the states.
“That’s extremely rare,” said Balder. “One of the problems with transiting surgery is obviously they might not have an appropriate work-up. So, there’s risks to it. But if you go to a seasoned surgeon, who’s done hundreds and thousands of cases, the risk goes down.”
