So, i didn't die. Don't know anyone who did. Any surgery has risks. The benefits have to outweigh the risks in each personal situation. Maybe a discussion with your docs can shed light on your particular situation. Good luck!

make it a great day

Yes, and----yes.

Time for an open and honest conversation with your bariatric team... MHO

Well no one posting here has died, lol.

Surgery is serious, anyone can die. You can also die in your sleep, driving, etc.

I decided that even if I died on the table it was better to die fast than to die slow like I was doing.

Per my surgeon, the risk of dying during bariatric surgery is LESS than dying during gallbladder removal. Don't be afraid to ask the surgeons this question, it is part of informed consent!
