How long after surgery can you still die because of WLS?

My mom died of a bowel obstruction. 

My dad survived a serious near fatal intestinal obstruction. 


Both were of the type common to WLS patients. 

Neither had ever been obese or had any gastrointestinal procedure done.  Its the luck of the draw.  You'll make yourself crazy thinking about how many bad things can happen. 

Enjoy your good health and remember complications particularly so far out are rare.
