Question:
Has anyone have/had complications from the Fobi Pouch procedure?

I am concerned and skeptical of this procedure, and have a friend who is seriously considering having this done. I would also like to hear from those who have the Fobi Pouch for at least 5 years.    — Lawrence A. (posted on June 11, 1999)

Dr. Fobi information is on-line at www.onelist.com. If you want someone that is at least 5 years post-op! And they could ask that question? I know I'm 1 year post-op, and had Dr. Fobi's surgery! I had no complications! Robin

My surgery was on July 12, 1999. No complications! Remember to walk, walk, walk, after surgery to prevent blood clots. Keep in mind, blood clots are common after any surgery and also from "couch potato" habits!
