Guest guest Posted October 24, 2000 Report Share Posted October 24, 2000 I agree that it SHOULD be up to the surgeon but ultimately we are all responsible for our own health and owe it to ourselves to investigate fully - once the complications happen it is a little late (what is it they say - forewarned is forearmed). Or does working in a hospital and dealing with things medical take away the " scare " factor (for me) of doctors/surgeons and replace it with a healthy cynicism (they are human just like us and forget to tell things if we don't ask - appolog. to my bosses and workmates). When we are vulnerable (as in overweight /obese) we can be too trusting of others who are trying to help us (albeit with the best intentions in the world) and some may find that if they had all the information at the time of choosing the band they may have NOT chosen it. I just thank God that I have had a very positive experience with the band as have most in my support group - even those that haven't still say that they don't regret it for a moment! Nuf now - Hugs and kisses to all Suzy (could somebody please BURN that soapbox!)
