I'm getting banded on the 29th of January, 2013 and looking forward to it!!!!! I would love to chat with others who have been there and can lend advice...and maybe a few who are also being banded in January! I work better when I have a 'buddy' to lend support and travel the journey with me.

I will be operated 1st or 2nd week of Feb. The date has not been officially confirmed yet but if you want a band-buddy, I would be glad to....or should I say that you would probably more of MY band-buddy since you will have a couple weeks ahead of me

I am scheduled to be banded on January 25th. I'd enjoy starting our journey together. Having a group of friends to talk with would be so reassuring.

I'm getting banded on January 28th. I DEFINITELY NEED a buddy. I don't know anyone who is banded and I'm having a hard time finding protein shakes I like! I'm 37 years old I have 5 children one who is almost 4 that we adopted who is highest level status for a transplant and is quadraplegic and has a trach. I also have an 18, 17, 13 yo and a 1 yo. I NEED this banding so I can keep up!!! Lol my email is daleybetsy@gmail.com or Facebook is Betsy Daley. Good luck to everyone in our new journey

Hello everybody! :-) I should be operated in feb. but it anybody wants to "friend" me, i would be glad to.

Cant wait to start this journey !

Im having surgery 17th of January and would love to share this with people that will understand My husband is very supportive but he is very athletic and never will understand me...

Hi I'm getting banded 16th, would love to buddy up with someone of you. Liquid diet going ok. Been on clear liq for 8 days now and getting a little nervousness for Wednesday.

My day is Tuesday the 22nd and would love to keep in touch with everyone banded in January to share experiences, motivate each other and lend support. I chose not to tell any friends because I have not one who is remotely overweight and I didn't think any of them would understand my struggle. My mom and husband are the only one's who know and it's very lonely not shareing all of this with more people. Congratulations and Good Luck to all the January Bandsters!!

I would love to buddy up. My date is Feb 12/13. Heading to Mexico . Is your date set yet?

No date yet...still waiting. :-( A lot of confusion at the doc's office so hopefully thing will get resolved and I will know my date this week. The canadian health system is not the greatest to say politely.

Must be very trying... hope things start to progress soon for you. So I gather you have been waiting for a while, I am going self pay so not near the wait. Please keep me posted!

I am getting banded on Feb 1 and really would love to have some mentors. I am really nervous about it. I am on my shake diet right now. Love to hear from anyone. Let's unite Feb bansters!!!
