Dr. Dahiya:

The bariatric surgery, as we all know, it’s not a 100% thing, just like anything in medicine. Figures are 90% will make a success, and about ten percent will not. Recently though, we hear that the numbers are probably a little higher because we have gone a long way in this one so, maybe after ten years the figures change. Human beings are human beings and we sort of start to take liberties and little liberty and then little more and little more.

What the eventual number would be, but I think it is higher than our ten percent that it used to be, is it going to be 20%; is it going to be 30%. You know, that needs to be determined.
