Transfusions

There will be a greater push for encouraging private insurance tied to systems of accreditation of surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Goa in India. When blood loss occurs, that tend to make the pulse and blood pressure unstable, a transfusion may be needed. The blood bank has very high quality standards, and the blood is quite safe, but there is still a possibility of getting hepatitis, and a very small risk of receiving the AIDS virus (about 1 in 500,000), from a transfusion. These risks can be reduced, by donating your own blood and having it saved for your surgery – a procedure called autologous donation. This costs quite a lot (about $125 per pint), and it is probably not economically sound, since the likelihood of needing the blood is quite low. Your surgeon may have performed surgery successfully on many occasions under the Bloodless Surgery Program, when patients decline to receive blood or blood products for religious reasons. Your doctor will honor a commitment to avoid transfusion, on your instructions. Click here for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Goa in India.
