Hi Allie!
Dr. Schulman is in New York. His thread on LBT is here:

He's great about answering questions - I've asked a couple and gotten wonderful responses from him. I'm actually not planning my surgery until 2010 - I am planning to be at or very near my goal weight by Dec 09, but I understand it's best to be at your goal weight for a few months before doing the surgery.
I have seen up to a year recommended, but that's not why I'm waiting...it's partly financial, but partly because my employer does an annual holiday shutdown and the days between Christmas and New Years are paid days off with no charge to my vacation time. If I save some days this year, I could concievably take 2 additional weeks and have 3 weeks off, which I think is the recommended time interval.
Check out Dr. Schulman's thread - he's also got a website with some good info and before and after pics at:

Good luck - I'll be rooting for ya!
