Re: Re: help! preop meds

,

I think I would make SURE about this before I make a

big decision. You want to be as well informed as you

can. There were many, many reasons I chose the MGB

instead, but the 3 most important were:

1. recovery time ( I have my own business & 2 small

children)

2. if there is a problem, revision or reversal is an

option without all the problems or complications the

others offer.

3. number of deaths.

if nothing else, consider #3, then choose which one

you want. remember this is a serious surgery, so

don't you want to do it ONE time and do it RIGHT?

I am also going to say, this is a PERSONAL decision.

It is your job to make sure you have ALL the info you

can get to make a well informed decision that you can

live with. That is the most important thing. No

regrets!

Take care & God Bless you in whatever you decide!
