Fatal Pulmonary Embolism after Bariatric Operations for Morbid Obesity: A 24-Year Retrospective Analysis
TL;DR: 4 patients demonstrated a combination of risk factors (VSD, BMI ≥ 60, truncal obesity, OHS/SAS) recognized as significant for the development of postoperative VTE, and prophylactic IVC filter placement is highly recommended in such patients.

Anastomotic Leak Prophylaxis Using a Vapor-Heated Fibrin Sealant: Report on 738 Gastric Bypass Patients
TL;DR: Fibrin sealant applied to the GJS site appears to have eliminated anastomotic leaks in MicropouchSM gastric bypass patients, and results suggest that fibrin glue application may contribute to "leak prophylaxis" in patients undergoing open Rouxen-Y Gastric bypass.

TL;DR: Routine gastrostomy tube placement at the time of gastric bypass is not necessary in all patients, but for patients who are at high risk for a gastro-enteric obstruction or an anastomotic leak, G-tube placement is recommended and is often therapeutic.
