Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hi all, I am new to the group. I have been looking into having the surgery for about a year now and I am a little scared. I really want to because of the quality of life I will lead if I lose weight and I believe that surgery will be a wonderful tool in acheiving this dream. However I have found some scary stats that doctors have estimated that 1 in 200 patients die. I know the generally accepted staistic is 1 in 1000, but still...it scares me. I am a single mom of a 3 yr old boy and I don't want to leave him alone. Even though we do have family...he wouldn't have me. What do you all think?
