lurking on some other WLS lists

> WLS lists and do the same. This OSSG list serves a great number of

> people - over 2,000 - who have had weight loss surgeries of various

> kinds, with many different surgeons.

>

> The discussions I read there confirmed that yes, complications do

> exist in other forms of surgeries, and yes, some of those

> complications are pretty horrendous.

>

> I also noticed, with those who listed their surgery dates and stats,

> that MGB patients seem to be on a par, weight loss wise, with other

> surgeries.

>

> Again, I was just browsing, not making careful notes.

>

> Let me know what you find.
