Are there any limits for roboticaly assisted surgery as far as body size goes? I'm 6'6", 385lbs, built like a football linesman. (enjoying brewed carbonated beverage of some kind, I lost few lbs since the picture was taken)

Richard - I don't think there are restrictions, but your surgeon can more specifically advise you. I had minimally invasive mitral valve repair and highly recommend it if it's an option for you Best of luck!

I understand there are surgeons who specialize in OHS on larger folks. If I'm not mistaken, there is one at Duke.
