Fear of Surgery

Fear is one of the most common reactions from patients when they are offered Metabolic Surgery.
This is understandable. The layman's view of surgery is always associated with pain, complications, disability and even death.

What they don't realise is that surgery has completely changed over the last twenty years. Nowadays it is high tech and minimally invasive. The equipment we have now is beyond the imagination of surgeons 20 yeats ago. We can cut without bleeding, we can seal without stitching, we can do amazing things through the tinniest holes.

Patients today can get up and walk around immediately after surgery. They can drink. They can go to toilet. Much surgery today is day surgery or only one night stay in hospital. The risk is very very much reduced. The pain and disability is minimal.

Surgeons paid a very high price to achieve this revolution.

On the other hand living with Diabetes and Obesity detracts so uch from life. Both longevity and quality are seriously compromised. The complications from Diabetes are horrible. They include blindness, kidney failure, amputation, heart disease, stroke and many more.

Why not give yourself a chance to have a normal and healthy life once again.
