Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hi everyone, I am a new member to the group and just had my first consultation yesterday for the DS surgery with Dr. Anthone at USC in Los Angeles. I didn't sleep a wink last night and could use some encouraging post op stories as I am still torn over whether or not to go for it. I really want to but am scared of the side affects and post-op complications. Also, since this surgery is fairly new, I am scared as to what may happen when I am 50, 60, etc... I am now 30 years old, 326lbs, married 1 year and have 2 step-kids who I am mommy to (8 & 9 years old). THey want me to play, they want me to swim, and I just can't. I also want to have my own children (although they really are like my own), and there is NO WAY I am going to get pregnant at this weight or I won't fit through a door! Has anyone had really bad after affects or know of anyone who actually died from the blood clot thing? Scary. Help!
