How many people that has had revisions, needed a blood transfusion?
I'm trying to figure out if one surgery is prone to more blood loss over the other.
Basically the VSB vs RNY.
So if you were revised to RNY did you have a blood transfusion?
Those *****vised to VSB did you have to have a BT?

Thanks

None of the procedures should need it unless there is an unexpected problem.

Most of the people I have heard of are due to not being compliant with Vitamins,  or just have very  differant issue's. I dont think you can use that to  determine what procedure is best for you.

I had to have blood transfusions but not because of the revision to RNY but because of blood clots. I had to have 3 additional surgeries and was in the hospital for a month.
