How many died? Lol, claims to have cured T2? Typical 30 day mortality rates for lap band surgery varies from 0.1 to 2% depending on the study. An additional couple percent of patients die within a year. Factors are the experience of the surgeon, the BMI of the patient, and other existing disease. Considering that patients that undergo this surgery may already have significant morbidities from their condition, that's not too bad. It's comparable to a lot of other major surgeries. DK
