I turned my paperwork in the night of the lap band seminar and today (4 weeks later) got a call to set up my bariatric appt with the dietician, nurse, & Pshyciatrist. My appt is next week and I just wondered how soon did most people have their surgery after this step. I realize this may be totally different for each person, but it is becoming so surreal now, and I just want to get some ideas. Thanks!!!:smile:

Great question. I did the same thing you did and just found out last week I was approved for surgery. I go for my medical and behavioral assessments this coming Thursday. I can let you know what they tell me when I'm done.

good luck to you.

its weird in australia or in my case here in sydney.. i went to my gp got approved there for a referal 1 week later we went to a siminar then a week later a 1 on 1 with the doctor than he gets bloods n all that done and and i was booked in the same day as the 1 on 1.. and due to go in in 3 weeks.. over there u guys seem to have to go thru alot to get it done..

Hey, i see that your from Aussie like me. I am in the process of organising my lap band surgery and saw ur message. Was wondering if there is any chance that i could email u? I am just interested to know how everything goes for you, as we are the same age, etc.

Or any other young ppls, feel free too! I want as much info as i can.
