Hi everyone!

I was just wondering what you all thought of this- I am looking to have surgery with Dr. Jeffrey Strain in Englewood, NJ. He is covered under my insurance. I just recently discovered that he and his team of doctors have performed 500 bariatric surgeries to date. Is that too little? I just saw someone else post about how their doctor has done over 3,000 surgeries.

Is this normal? I'm getting close to the end of my 3 month diet and my anxiety is working in overdrive! I am so worried about the complications! I am in my early 20s so I know I'm not terribly at risk, but it's starting to really freak me out! Any advice/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

I think 500 is still a whole lot of experience.

When I was researching, I was told that you don't want a surgeon with less than 350 - I was told that surgeon's aren't really even good until they've done at least 150.
