I'm such a Newbie

Hi everyone! I'm really considering getting banded I want to know how long does the process take meaning from the first consulation to the actual sugery?

One of the dr. in my area requires 6 months to a year, does this sound right?

Also, is there anyone here from the metro detroit area, if so any referrals?

HI! Welcome to LBT. You have come to the right place for information, support, and guidance. Read, Read, Read. I had my 1st consult in November after attending a seminar in September. I was banded 1/30/07. Best of luck to you-Gigi

My entire process took 6-8 weeks. There was no preop diet that I needed to follow for 6 months. Good luck.

I was a self pay and it took about 6 weeks.

It can vary from 6 weeks to 6 months. Usually it is about 2 to 3 months.

Six months to a year seems like a lot to me.
