I used to be a RN case mgr for a major hospital surgical icu.
Of course I only saw the sick ones. Few didnt make it out of Icu due to complications. They were so young too in their 30's and 40's.
I have two personal friends that had great outcomes.
I think if you have a great surgeon, medical clearance from you internist and are mentally prepared to have very restricted oral intake then it is possible to have a good outcome.
Most programs have tons of prepatory counseling to make sure this is the right procedure for you. Good luck in your decision and do you homework!! |
