What state and hospital did your father have the procedure done in? My father is 80 years old which we are told is not usually a candidate for this type of operation, however he is a very young 80.
Many things I've read have said the success of the surgery has a lot to do with the experience of the surgeon. Matter of fact, the first surgeon referred my dad to another guy because he didn't think he was experienced enough because of my dad's age.
His procedure was done at OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City. The surgeon's name is Dr. Postier
Good Luck!
