Anyone know Statistics on complications?

Since WLS has started to become more and more common, I'm wondering if anyone has heard (good or bad) stats on how many people who have surgery for weight loss end up with severe to fatal coplications.. I'm asking because my family wants to be supportive but there have been many stories about critical or deadly out comes in the news lately. I was wondering if there were any cold factual stats anywhere? ie out of 100 people who've had GBS 25 of them had --- or --- out of 200 in the past year have ---? Anyone read or heard or know where I could look? Thanks Erin Pekar
