    I am so glad I found this site. I have so many questions to ask. How long did the process take before you got scheduled for the surgery. I've already gone to a seminar. I have a nutritionist appt on 8 Feb, but I still need to get labs done, see a shrink, and attend a support group meeting before I get my final consult with the surgeon. It just seems like its gonna take a long time. I've been looking into the band for a while now but I was having a hard time getting a referral, my previous doctor didn't think I was heavy enough (5'2, 215lbs, BMI 36). What kind of preop diet do you have to follow and for how long. :rolleyes2:
