A member asked:
34 year old male patient with permanent afib, chf, defibrillater inplant, morbidly obese what would yu say his survival rate is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Morbidly obese: Not sure I can give a survival rate but we can talk about what may prolong your life and potentially resolve some of these issues -- weight loss surgery. Have you considered your options when it comes to bariatric/weight loss surgery?
