Thank you to all of you for sharing your input. I'm not sure if this is the right decision for me but my husband and I are going to team up and do some exercising and dieting before I make a final decision.

All of the posts are very informative and have encouraged me to think about many issues I never considered before reading the posts.

I'm pretty sure at this point that I will be having the surgery but I believe my husband will be more supportive if I give the workout and diet a try first. I figure it will put me on the right path anyway since I need to get in the routine of walking every day and doing strength training several times a week anyway.

I want to be on the right path first and then use the band as a way to speed the process.

Hi everyone, I'm still in the decision stage but am moving forward. Can someone tell me how long of a waiting list there is for the surgery?

Also, other than the tests that were performed prior to the surgery, was there anything else you needed to do before you could hve the surgery such as provide medical history or other documentation?
