Hi Steve, welcome to Minis! I am a bander 5 weeks post-op and feel great! I went private, so may not be much help re the waiting time, but once you have had your consultation and if you have questions just shout - there are quite a few of us banders on here now all ready and willing to help. Good luck and keep posting xx
