My lapband is due to be removed this Wednesday (30th Nov), if all goes well then I'll have the bypass done at the same time however that's dependent on adhesions etc too. If everything doesn't go perfectly then same thing as you Felicia, I'll have to wait 3 months for a bypass. I'll try to remember (through a foggy post-operative brain) to come back and let you know if we're going to be waiting together.
