  1. I don't think the mortality rate is that high - 1 out of 50 is 2% and I believe that the risk is under 1%.
  2. You are talking about some of the statistic that is old and it was 1 out 50 MEDICARE PATIENTS after the surgery die after 30 days. That has long been changed, with Lap Surgery and new techniques and better surgeons.
  3. I'm a bariatric patient, I had the surgery near 2 years ago. I know many bariatric patients and they are alive and enjoy the life. You had "minor" complications but in general the most patients had medical conditions before the operation. Visit this site www.bariaticedge.com is very good information.
