Very curious about the number of patients in each group surveyed, as well as types of surgeries applied. Do you have that data available in detail?

I had bariatric surgery myself, and in my case it was one of the best decisions I’ve made—but if I ended up regretting it, I wouldn’t try to prevent other people from having the choice!
