Certain medical conditions, life situations or lifestyle choices may prevent you from having surgery. Here are some conditions that may make the procedure too risky:
History of non-compliance with medical care.
Certain active psychiatric illnesses, such as personality disorder, schizophrenia, uncontrolled depression, suicidal ideation or substance abuse (less than one year sober).
Unstable medical conditions that make the risk of having surgery greater than not having it.
Cognitive or mental impairments that limit your ability to understand the procedure.
