Sorry, I don't know much about the band. I had bypass and was told to wait 18 months. The reason for waiting with bypass is because of the malabsorption issues that can be present. I'm not sure why you would have to wait with the band. Why not ask your surgeon's office? I wouldn't just ask for how long to wait but also ask for why he suggests waiting that long.
