I just joined this site today and I'm very excited. I have not been banded yet but will soonish hopefully. I have had numerous appointments but still need to have my sleep study done. I feel like its sooo hard to schedule everything because my schedule of classes is hard to plan around. After my sleep study (3/27) I have another appt with my surgeon to hopefully set a date, which is very exciting! Anyone have any advice? how long did you have to wait between setting a date and getting the surgery?

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hey amanda, what up? The length of the wait varies greatly from person to person (and from doc to doc). I personally only had to wait like 10 days from the day my surgery was approved by insurance until I was on the table. I hope you get in quick. Good luck!

Welcome to LapBandTalk!

It depends on how busy your surgeon is. I could have had mine 2.5 weeks after my first consult, but I couldn't get off work. So it was more like 6 weeks.
