What is a good level of

I am just wondering what other people know about how many surgeries their surgeon has performed? Any idea of what would be considered an experienced surgeon? My surgeon is a general surgeon who does this as well, but unlike some surgeons, doesn't do wls only. So I'm sure he's done a lot less than Dr. Fobi for example. Working in the medical field, I know what it's like to have to get experience, and I know that everyone starts out somewhere, but I just have no perspective on what would be considered good experience. His nurse said that he's done well over 350 of these, and I know he's very busy with them. There was supposed to be about a year wait to even get an appointment to be evaluated, but I managed to get some professional courtesy and get in a lot sooner, so after I decided to pursue this last August, I was in to see him in October, but obviously, he's keeping busy with doing wls. What do people think?
