Like any surgical procedure, a gastrojejunostomy could result in infection or another complication. A gastrojejunostomy connects the stomach to the jejunum, bypassing the duodenum, the beginning of the intestine at the bottom of this image.
One more thing: Don't make your turtle's water temperature too warm. For most adult aquatic turtle species, 78 F.

Otherwise, too-warm water can encourage bacteria growth in the tank. It also discourages turtles from basking sometimes.
