Hi Swtcoco 75,

Welcome! All my pre-op stuff took about 9 months. Classes, nutritionists, dr. appts, etc. I got banded on July 2 (I am 1 week post-op) and I am doing well. Congratulations on your decision and good luck to you on your weight loss journey!

Thank you! Wow thats great you lost 10 lbs already. So I guess 6 months is not that long after all considering. Well, good luck to you on your process. Take care..
