Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Here is my 2 cents worth. I decided before the surgery that I had a choice to make and that 1 in 200 number scared the daylights outta me. I decided that I would much rather have this surgery when I feel good then have to have open heart surgery because of heart failure or something scary like that. The numbers from the sugeries are comperable. I am so glad that I made this choice! I am one month out and down 34 lbs. It's truly the best thing I have ever done for myself. And I am worth it! : ) Blessings!
