Subject: Referral from PCP I got my referral from my PCP this evening! While she is not 100% about the surgery she does prefer the GB over the DS. Oh well, that is something she and I will have to discuss further. Happily, BMI=65 Consult Dr. Gagner 3/14/00 , Dr Welker gives the statistics on the GB as 40% failure at 5 years, VERY BAD! Also, some university hospitals and bariatric surgeons refuse to do them any more because of the high failure rate. Maybe that information would be helpful for your dealings with your PCP. By the way, notice how many revisions from VBG there are on this site, I'm one of them!! Meli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
