Hi, I'm looking into getting the gastric sleeve in Thailand. Ive got some concerns though, I am a Jehovahs Witness and we don't accept blood transfusions. What are the chances of needing a blood transfusion during or post op? And what alternative options are there if there was internal bleeding? Thanks
