    Don't do this. Don't look for the complications hon. We're all different. Work harder on making damn sure you pick the right facility out of country...cuz that's gonna be more important!!

  • I had zero complications. But I was careful about which surgeon and which facility I chose and that made all the difference. So your question would elicit different answers from different individual

    I agree! Focus on being mentally prepared, being positive, and finding the right surgeon. Extremely rare to have to go "back under the knife." You've got this!

If you listened to all the horror stories about childbirth when you were trying to decide to get pregnant, you would never have a baby! Same with WLS. Everyone with a story wants and needs to share it, but don't go looking for the worst case scenarios without realizing there are multiple more without any problems.
