Go online and put in your surgeon's name and find out everything you can about him. I researched my surgeon and found he had a 5 out of 5 approval rating from his patients. He had performed over 2,000 bariatric surgeries and never lost a single patient. I felt completely safe in his hands. I had to drive a distance to get to him. Be sure your surgeon is a Bariatric Surgeon of Excellence and the hospital is a Bariatric Hospital of Excellence. If all is good with your surgeon then relax and know you are in good hands!

Today the minimally evasive procedures have lessened the surgery risk tremendously as compared to just 10 years ago.

You are at greater risk from dying from the maladies that the 292 pounds you are carrying around now as compared to going for this surgery.

This is LIFE SAVING SURGERY !!!!

Hi Nancy! Well 2 lb is 2 lb less :cool: It's just plain hard to lose weight without the help of the surgery. At least it was for me. It's March already so your surgery will be here before you know it. Good luck !
