I'm just curious as to whether any statistics are available in the US regarding band successes versus failures. It just seems that there are so many people having the same kinds of problems over and over and yet the operation is still being performed. I know it's not that many but I know of 4 people including myself who have had serious slippage problems through no fault of their own. The other 3 are stuck at the moment as they cannot get the funding on the NHS for revision surgery. I think it would be very interesting to know the ratio of success to failure.
