How many Diaphragm Plications are being done a year in the USA?

Today is 04/07/2012, I had a Diaphragm Plication done on 02/16/2012 and got my life back! OMG a new me! I do not use my cane, I walk on a treadmill (for 2 weeks now) 5 times a week and up to 4 miles @ 2.7 MPH. When I started I could only do a 1/2 mile after surgery. Yep I have my life back now! Feels darn good to breath!

ONLY one question I have, How many Diaphragm Plications are being done a year in the USA?

Good Luck!!!
