My surgeon is a newbie

He has only done 6 lap band surgeries so far.

He has done a lot of different kind of surgeries but not the band.

By the time I finish my 6 month diet he will have a bit more experience under his belt, but I'm still wondering...

What do you guys think?

    Is he still being proctored??? Any chance you could be one of those surgeries?? That way, a more experienced surgeon would be there to assist.

    How experienced is he with laprascopic surgery??? That's what I would wonder... more than with other WLS. However, in general, the magic number for Band surgeries is 50. That's when the whole learning curve levels off.
