I'm so ready for this now!!! I met my surgeon and he made me feel so good and yes I asked him has he had any deaths with this surgery and he said no!!! Thank god!!!!!! Also he talked about the up keep and follow up visits and that my pcp really won't know what to look for in those visits!!

My PCP is a good doctor, but he didn't actually know what the vertical sleeve gastrectomy entailed. I gave him some written materials including average percentages of complications that the surgical group gave me. Medicine is a huge and always evolving subject, and the PCP can't know everything.
