Read in the information leaflet that 1 in 200 die during or shortly after this operation, this seems quiet a high number for me? Has anyone else read this? im asking this as i have my operation on 30th November and like everyone else im scared........ cant sleep, very tearful, and the fears are driving me mad...BUT yet i need this for ME mostly and then to see my children grow up ....... give me your comments and views thanks xx

Hi I joined the forum today Im having my operation on 3oth November, im very nervous BUT also excited its the start of my new life ....... Good luck to everyone whos having ops in November...... Watch this space xx

Thank-you so very much.................... u totally have put my mind at rest . After reading your message i, just burst into tears... this forum has totally put my mind at ease. ive never had an operation in my life b4, i never take tablets so, 4 me this really is a first....... and YES reading that in the booklet freaked me out. Ive waited to be thin and have a normal whatever that is life...i want to play and do things with my kids and my grandchildren etc...... plus go on holiday without asking for a an extra length seatbelt, go to an amusement park and not worry about the seats being too small the list is endless. Thank-you for all your advise please keep intouch.......wow what a woman xxxxx Surgery here i come .......

The 1in200 is in the booklet that the hospital gave me.
