Thank you. This this blog is about success stories, but there are very few. It may be in the rules, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask you if you're under 65 because I'm older and the doctor felt it was a risk. Also, I'm wondering where you had it done teaching hospital somewhere where you live locally mayo clinic? What I'm saying is there is a failure rate of some sort. And that makes me quite uneasy . It's just bad luck. I might have another condition or something; but it seems the skill of the person doing it is quite important. I don't know how to write you privately or if I'm allowed to. See this and can answer my questions if they were allowed your approximate age when it was gone and if you had any complicating conditions. Most importantly, where you had it done. It's not the name of the place other than Mayo, type of facilities experience, shelter, surgeon. Thanks so much. It's good to hear one. Good story.

I was 70 yrs old when had procedure done in 2014. Was done in smaller town in northwest SC by a local bariatric specialist surgeon with a good reputation. He had a lot of experience in banding surgeries. After several OV's, I felt very comfortable with him doing it and have had no regrets since then. Don't believe he's associated with any teaching hospitals but had very specific extra training in this procedure field. If you are conveniently located to that northwest SC, let me know and I can give you his name/location.
