Hi hford, welcome, I to had to follow a six month program. My Dr wanted a 10% weightloss prior to surgery, this shows you are serious about your dedication to being banded. An gets you in better shape for surgery. I worked with a nutritionist and she was fantastic, be honest with all your weaknesses, there are good tricks and advise to help you with them. I am scheduled to be banded on 3/14/07.

Wow things are so different from place to place. Here in NY it was a six month process of seminars, exams, nutritionist, losing 10% of weight, psych consult, etc. Very strict, any weight gain they'll cancel your surgery. Best of luck hope your process goes smoothly.

Has anyone had their band done at Albany Med in NY. It seems everyone went to Mexico. I am being banded 3/14/07. Only one other person in my support group has had it done, the rest are bypassers. Would like to know how it went for anyone else??? Getting a bit nervous as it gets closer.
