I'm hoping for some reassurance. I'm 46 year's old and scheduled for gastric bypass on April 20th. I'm 266 pounds at 5'5" and really see no other way out of this weight issue. I'm a nursing student, set to graduate in December and I really want to be a healthy and energetic nurse. I can't walk up a flight of stairs now without becoming short of breath and in the hospital I'm always trying to squeeze by equipment and beds and can't fit in the small bathrooms when I have to help a patient. Not to mention, I hate how I look and don't want to interview for a job with all this extra weight. I've been very excited about the procedure up until I got the date and now I'm getting nervous. My 12 year old daughter is worried I'm going to die and I've done my best to reassure her but really, I'm getting scared too. I THINK I've done my research but I cant find specific statistics on my surgeon. I went to his seminar and he seems very confident and personable but is there a place to find complication rates, death rates, etc?
