Would a surgeon please review the MGB carefully and explain if it is safe or not?

There has been alot of conflict/controversy about the MGB and I am having a hard time making a decision about whether to have this particular surgery. I would have to fight my HMO to have another procedure out of network. I have been unable to get definitive answers. My primary care doctor feels the MGB is safe but others have been less confident. The ASBS is being non-commital. I am looking for objective, unbiased, factual answers. I am hoping to hear from a number of surgeons or doctors. Procedure in question can be looked at in detail at www.clos.net. Thanks.
