HELLO!!! I saw October and even December Bansters but no November...so I thought I would start the November Bansters! I called the Insurance company and I got a verbal approval. If all goes well I will be banded on November 14, 2011. Woo-hoo!! 11/11 will be the beginning of a WONDERFUL NEW LIFE!! I can't wait to do this for ME!!

My surgery is scheduled for November 11th. I can't wait!

You will never forget your Band Date,,, 11/11/11 Thats cool. Congrats.

O M G What a Bunch of LOSERS ! ! ! LOL

I am a October 31st. Bandster, So I almost was a November Bandster. But I like my Date, and was treated fantastic.

I'm hear 2 wish you all the best of Health with your Journey. You don't need Luck, you already know what you want, and your going for it.

That's what matters, So go for it, and don't even look back. Just take it one day at a time, and you will do fine.

Prisoneer2pioneer: Monday is my 5 year Bandiversary. So if you need help with something. I can probably say been there, and done that. Honestly !

So,,, If you want someone with experience or who can help out, I am available if you are interested.

See you all on the LOSERS BENCH !

Lets be losers together!!!

I am having my band surgery on Nov. 2 - next week. I can't wait. I will look you up on Facebook. I wasn't sure how to post on Facebook privately so Thank You for starting the site. Also how do you get the weight loss ticker?

My surgery is 11-11-11. Kind of a neat date to have as an anniversary. Glad to be a part of the November Bansters. Currently on my pre-op diet, which is not fun, but I'm hoping it will get a little bit better day-by-day. Thanks for all the great words of encouragement and expectations Cheri. I'm only on day 2 of the liquid diet and I can already say that it is one of the hardest things I've ever done.

One question, how much do you work out every week?

Update: well got my cardiac stress test scheduled for monday and 11/1/2011 I should be getting banded barring any problems with my test!

I will be banded on Wednesday, November 2rd 2011!! 4 days away! I'm very anxious, nervous, starting on fear and doubt. It seemed so long getting here, now it seems like it's creeping on me so fast! I'm sure the doubts and questions are normal, which is why I love lapbandtalk! Everyone has so much advice! Wish me luck!

Hi!

My surgery is scheduled for November 11th. I can't wait!

Aria3, looks like we have the same surgeon and are having the surgery the same day. Good luck to you. Maybe I'll see you surgery day or at one of the support groups. I'm mostly going to do the noon support group because I live in Edgewood and the evening one is just too late for me. I'm excited too, particularly right now to have this whole liquid diet thing over with.

So sorry I had no idea I had wriiten that much . . . sorry!

Cheri

No need to be sorry, Cheri. It is good advice!

Dan

Hey Aria3 and Desert Rat!! I so wanted that date but my doctor, our doctor will be in NM doing you!! I live in the DFW area and had that date in my head for months. That's when I wanted my anniversary but by the time the insuarance company got around to approving me I was told Dr. Smith will be out of town that date. LOL! How funny is it that I ran across you two on this site. Well, I'm happy for you two. You got a great date and a great doctor. Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing as I will have Dr. Smith do me on 12/19.

I cant find u on facebook at least I dont think I can, found just a Stacey Diederich so wasnt sure if that was right.
