i think the complications have always been there but with the news traveling better these days you hear more about it. also consider that there are more and more people getting this procedure done every year, so the more people that have it, the more people (as a total number) will have complications from it and the more you will hear about it. i also think that people gaining the weight back takes time, so while this procedure is increasing, it will take time for those final results to be made pulic. some are embarrassed to talk about it as well i am sure
