I think it really depends on your insurance and Dr. I first approached my Dr in late June to inquire about surgery...and it was a very quick process for me. I was banded on 10/04. Good luck to you!!

I was banded 10/4 and am averaging 1.6lbs a week. I was very discouraged because it seemed like every one on here was losing a ton of weight quickly and I wasn't. Then I had to step back and ask myself if I was really following the 'rules' and the answer is No. Until I give it an honest 100% I can't be upset with 1.6 lbs/week. I had my 2nd fill on Tuesday so I'm hoping I start feeling some restriction but I also know that I have to put more effort into. I actually stopped checking in to this site because it was upsetting to me. I'm in the right spot mentally now and actually lost 3 lbs last week. It's soo very different for everyone...I had to stop comparing myself to others and focus on my self. Congrats to all of you!! Average of 4lbs a week sexymomma...that's amazing!

I waited 6 weeks for my 2nd fill which I just had on Tuesday morning. My next fill is scheduled for 1/31 so 4 weeks out. I have 4 cc's right now...
