Just my opinion
I have been researching for 3 years n in my opinion the more surgerys you have before ADR the less chances of a 100 percent successful adventure. Again just my observations and also the less you weigh n no smoking! In prep for ADR (yes I'm bragging) since Christmas I have lost 80 pounds n getting ready to quit smoking. Dr James j Yue at Yale told me 25-35 BMI with 25 being optimal n stop smoking at least 60 days prior to surgery.
