The radiologist measures the rate of gastric emptying at 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours after the meal. The test can help confirm a diagnosis of dumping syndrome. The health care provider may also examine the structure of the esophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine with the following tests: [ 1 ]
[40] [41] Complications can be separated into 2 stages, early complication (within 30 days after surgeries) and late complications (after 30 days). [42] The overall risk of mortality is low in bariatric surgery at 0 to .01%.
Nausea and vomiting can be extremely distressing for patients, and so is one of their major concerns. [10] Vomiting has been associated with major complications, such as pulmonary aspiration of gastric content, and might endanger surgical outcomes after certain procedures, for example after maxillofacial surgery with wired jaws.

Small bowel transit time is normally 2.5–6 hours and is calculated from the time the pH increases by more than three units to the time it drops ...

Advantages of the ESG over LSG include lack of incisions, shorter length of stay (same-day-discharge vs 3 days in hospital); [29] less gastroesophageal reflux (0-2% vs 15-31%); [36] [45] and lower morbidity and overall adverse event rate (1.9% vs 14.5%), [45] [46] though some studies have presented similar rates of adverse events between ESG ...
