Hello all, I am just curious to know if anyone has had their Lap Band done by Dr. Bessler in New York. If you had, how long did you have to wait for your surgery? Thanks.

I am moving this to our "doctors and hospitals" forum, where you will hopefully get a better response.

I was banded by Dr. Bessler bank in February. Started pre-op stuff in September/October of 2007 and then was finally approved early January. I had my surgery February 13. Dr. Bessler is supposedly as good as they come. More importantly, his support staff are awesome. Let me know if you have any other questions...

Hi Mike! Thanks for getting back to me. I actually got approved in less than a week. My surgery is on the 14th of July! I can't wait, but at the same time nervous! I have an appointment on the 30th of June and they say to try to loose 30lbs. I havent lost anything! I am going to start my optifast on Monday..so pray for me:-). What other advise to you have? How much weight have you lost since the surgery?
