Usually the most dangerous part of any surgery is the anesthesia – where they “put you to sleep”. Some people have a hard time recovering from that, like they are hard to wake up or get very nauseous and vomit. Other than that, you could have some trouble with bleeding if you are on a blood thinner or if you take aspirin regularly. It is usually a pretty simple surgery though and most people don’t have these problems.
It depends on what type of surgery you are talking about as there are many. The thing that I would say to you is that you probably won’t DIE from any of them, but there are VERY mixed opinions on how effective they are. Most people think they are very ineffective actually.
