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.

Hello. I had my band on Jan 8th. Im about 27lbs down. Im looking for moral support as well. Located in Texas.

You got it brittaniej! What part of Texas are you in? I'm in Fort Worth. Got the lap band jan 23. Down 16 lbs!

My day is Tuesday the 22nd and would love to keep in touch with everyone banded in January to share experiences' date=' 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!![/quote']

I completely relate. My mother has actually been my biggest supporter. My husband has finally come around. So I am thankful for that. I get banded on 2/27/13 and I am soooo ready.
