All surgery comes with a risk James especially surgery on very overweight people. I do not know what weight of person you are talking about but if someone is very obese the risk can be as high as 50/50 However the alternative once you get to that stage is almost certain death from the strain on the organs from obesity itself so it is a sort of last chance saloon. If you want to know for a specific person then ask them to visit their doctor who will explain it all in full, or a reputable clinic that carries out this procedure.
