Default anyone evr had gbp in Wichita falls TX?

I was just wondering if any of you had recently undergone surgery with Dr. Warnock in Wichita Falls, TX. Someone very close to me is having the gbp performed by him next month and he also performed a coupple of knee surgeries several years ago on a family member real close to me. While those knee surgeries went extremely well, I was a bit worried the other day when I was looking at his name on the thinnertimes forum and didn't see any recent posts made by his patients and the ones i did see posted while they are very favorable are a few years old. Any word on this doc? Is he performing less surgeries these days? I would appreciate response to this in order to allay some probably unnecessary fears. Thanks.

I have no idea about this particular doc, but wanted to welcome you. It is not out of line to ask the doctor how many of these surgeries he has performed, and his mortality rate.

dr warnock is my surgeon. he is in the top 5% of bariatric surgeons in the country and patients come to see him from all over the world. he has a complication rate of less than 1 in 1000 whereas the national average is 1 in 50

he's an excellent surgeon and performs well over 400 surgeries a year. he has been performing rny for over 25 years
