Quote from article (link to article found here on Gallery page in "Obesityhelp.com News"): "But there are grave dangers: 1 in 200 people die from the operations themselves. Six in 200 suffer severe complications like ulcers, infections or constant heartburn. And one in 10 patients fail to lose weight ." I've never heard statistics like these! Makes me all the more nervous! Anybody know if these statements are correct??? Thanks, Jamie A. Milligan Surgery date: 10/09/02
