Hi,
I just saw your message.....After Lelito approves you, you will get a call in about a week from Synergy for an appt probably for a month later. After your appt. the process is pretty fast. Well, not as fast as we would like but it does fly by.
I had my appt w/Viglianco Aug 26th and had surgery Oct 17. So it wasn't that long.
Just keep your answers short and sweet with Lelito and you will be fine!

I did the diet for 2 weeks. It was hard the first 4 days and then pretty easy. I lost 8lbs on it!
I am very happy with my decision. I researched a lot and am ready to face my battles especially with the "2-3 months of bandster hell". For me it was a good decision since I can lose weight but have trouble keeping it off. If you are unsure about which surgery I urge you to come on over to the lap band forum. There is lots of good info over there.
I don't have any issues at all.
Good luck!
