Anyone getting banded in Nov?

I recently got approved and surgery is scheduled on November 4th in Chicago! I'd love to talk to and meet others who are getting or have been recently banded. I'm 23 and living in the Chicagoland area. I'd really love to talk to all of you and track our progress together!

Hi all, I am approved and scheduled the first week of Nov but do not have the exact date until my bloodwork appointment Nov 17. Wow I am so scared and now I am reading about hair loss. Someone give me some strength!!!

Hi everyone! I'm getting banded Monday the 11th. Crazy nervous!

Incentive for us to keep our Protein up post-band. I bought some Biotin, too, just in case. Only some people experience this with dramatic weight loss -- better if weight comes off a bit or two at a time, that 1-2 lbs per week?

November 29, yippee! We will be November Bandits together!

Whoops, messed that up -- BEGINNING of November, like me. It's Tifflo on the 29th....need a chart! Congratulations to all of us finally getting there. Very excited (and a little nervous). Just can't wait to begin!

Yep we will be bandies!!! So its only people with major weight loss. Whew I was so stressed. How do I get the chart?

I hope to be banded in November. My paper work went to the insurance company this week, hoping it will be fast. I live in the Chicago western 'burbs.
