Has anyone had to have a blood transfussion with WLS?

Not to get anyone started on a religious debate - but I would not take a blood transfusions due to my religious convictions. Anyone else out there in the same category? Has anyone HAD to have a blood transfussion during or related to WLS? I e-mailed the doc I am considering and he said he respected my beliefs and was willing to discuss and operate based on my medical history and understanding of risks involved. He said there is a 1-3% chance of having to be transfussed. I have an appointment on Feb 13 and am trying to get as much information as I can before then. Thanks.
