I also feel that this figure seems overly optimistic. It seems that
everyone I've ever heard from has had the surgery and their ferret
either continued to have glucose problems or the problem reappeared
within a few months.

On the other hand, maybe we just don't hear from the people whose
ferrets have had succesful surgery and go for a number of years with
no further problems since they have no need to seek additional advice.
