Shock, pulmonary embolism, postoperative bleeding, severe malnutrition, and bowel obstruction occurred postoperatively, but because of variability in the way these complications were reported, the authors of the meta-analysis were unable to calculate actual incidences. Protein-calorie malnutrition and micronutrient deficiency were also reported, but their overall incidence in adolescents was unclear

Obesity is being hailed as a global pandemic by academics (Boyd A Swinburn, 2011) and the effects that this has on healthcare systems in the UK is of increasing concern.
