Hi, I'm new to this site. I've just begun the process of getting banded. In fact, I received the preliminary paper work today. My first Dr. visit is Dec. 9th. I've met with my PCP and have a thumbs up from him. Now, I have to do the waiting game.

I'm trying to get all the info I can on banding in order to make an informed decision. It's a big step, but I think I'm ready.

Do you have to do the 6 month diet or anything? I'm in the waiting game as well, half way through my 6 month diet. I hate waiting!!!

Good luck with everything! This site has tons of info!

Yup, I have to do the 6 month thing. I'm one month into it. I am going to a required group session on the 8th of Oct, then it's the waiting game until I meet with the Doc. At that point I think they will schedule all the pre-testing.
