No need to Panic about Bariatric Surgery
It is entirely normal to be terrified by the idea of surgery. I would expect patients to be excited and anxious at the same time. Surgery it is a big decision for you and as such it may be daunting.
One of the best ways to allay your fears is to take a hard look at the statistics for the complications you fear most and find out how often they actually occur. You may be surprised to learn that some of the most feared complications hardly ever occur. If the idea of surgery still put you off, perhaps might be also helpful considering that it is more dangerous for your life not to undergo surgery.
The good news is that I am extremely experienced and very passionate and dedicated to my work. I perform several operations per week and every procedure is done in a calm and expeditious manner. Operating is one of the most enjoyable parts of my work. My results are excellent and my patients delighted.
Are there complications? Yes, of course, but they are uncommon and most of the problems are minor and manageable. Majority of my patients have no problems at all after surgery. It may sounds obvious but, because I perform a lot of operations I am very good in what I do. I am a professional. In the unlikely event of a complication, this will be recognised promptly and action will be taken. I can promise you I will give you 100% commitment.
