The second National Bariatric Surgery Registry Report, published by Dendrite Clinical Systems and the British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society (BOMSS), includes over 18,000 patient records and records that the observed in-hospital mortality rate after primary surgery was 0.07% with a  surgical complication rate for primary operations of 2.9%. At the time of primary surgery the average BMI was 48.8 kg m-2, which means that patients were almost twice their ideal weight with 53.9% of men and 41.4% of women recording 4 or more obesity related diseases.
