Im just a TAD BIT NERVOUS?

I asked that question at my first consultation............they told me nobody has died at their clinic.

any surgery has had deaths. its a horrible thing.

try not to worry/fret over that. trust your doctor.

i have not known anyone who has died from any wls.

i would have gotten worse and bigger if i didnt have wls.

i took that small risk of complications/death in order to save mine.

The only one I know of (not personally) is a woman that went to Mexico and something went horribly wrong.

That being said, Just this week a 16yo boy in town died while having a tonsillectomy. I tell you this b/c there is a risk in any surgery you have. My Dr told me I had a bigger risk of dying from obesity related causes than having LB. surgery.

Oh yea, My bariatric center has done over 1000 LB, Sleeves & Gastric bypass and hasn't lost one yet.

thanks for the info. we all take risks regardless surgery or not i think its more of a risk gettin in ur car and driving, that being said i had a friend who died recently from tonsillectomy resulted she passed from blood clots! its scary but i rather have a healthier life then to die from obesity.

No I have not heard of any deaths that have been directly related to lapband surgery. I do understand being nervous, I was very nervous the night before and day of surgery. I had never had any surgery before, only time in the hospital was to have kids so it was a first for me. This is a big step but I can tell you that it is well worth the risk, I felt I had more chance of dying being morbidly obese. Good luck to you.

I don't know anyone who's died directly from Lap Band surgery, however I know of multiple people who've died from causes that are a direct result of obesity.

I've lost 174 pounds in 11 months so far.

I am at goal, 2 years banded and have lost 124 lbs. I have lost 108 with my band and the other 16 lbs I lost on the pre surgery diet.

Nervous is normal! We have all been there! Best wishes! In my clinic there have been no deaths by the way!

I could die on Tuesday as I am going under for my tummy tuck. But I really don't think it's my time yet so I am going to hope for the best.

To answer your follow up question....I have lost 220 lbs in 2 years. I ate a balanced diet of 1000 calories a day.
