Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic. Well,main risk factors can't be chAnged now since these are age,weight and chronic diseases but generally this procedure carries low risk for some complications and you should not be worried at all if you ask me. General anesthesia is performed in much older and sicker people with no bad effects. I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
