How many have complications after surgery?
According to THIS article from the Cleveland Clinic, 10-20% of us will require additional surgeries due to complications. i guess this does not include people with long-term complications who cannot have surgery to correct their issues.
I weighed the pros and cons prior to having surgery. For me, the pros outweighed the cons. I had no quality of life when I was morbidly obese. I had to do something.
