surgery People don't really die from VSG right?

Any medical procedure has associated risks-I had never had surgery prior to my sleeve and had no idea how I would react to anesthesia, I was really scared! I decided to have my surgery because I knew I could not spend one more minute in the body I had.....my surgery went great and 9 months-92 lbs later I would not change a thing. Good luck in making the best decision for you!

I use humor to deal with the stress and I was very calm when going into surgery blood pressure was very good they where shocked. I just kept joking how I was going to have an amazing nap and I couldn't wait to catch up on sleep. On a serious note I did find that reach and being informed helped me knowledge is power. I studied and considered surgery for a year and a half before actually having it now I'm 5 days post feeling amazing minus a few aches and pains wouldn't change it for the world! I did get that good sleep too LOL.

Just keep telling yourself that statistically you are far more likely to die in an automobile accident on the way to the surgery, than you are to die as a result of the surgery. Despite some of the dramatic posts you read on this site, most of us breeze through the surgery.

Good luck on your journey. It's going to be amazing!

No deaths in the practice. Again highly capable surgeon. It's very reassuring but i'm still nervous as hell

They make wonderful pre-op drugs after the anesthesiologist sees you, you will get them and feel floaty....high as a kite. You'll do great!
