I started a thread in the support group forum for all of us getting banded on the 15th. I thought it would be a nice way to track each other's progress since there seem to be quite a few of us scheduled for that date. Hope to see you there!

I too was band on the 8th. I am doing just fine and Yes I was worried. But nothing to worry about, it would be over very soon. It is wonderful to be banded.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone and soon you all well be on the band wagon.

I have finally received insurance approval and will be banded on 1/16/09! It is a day later than it was supposed to be but I am still happy about it! I can't wait!!!! Good luck to everyone else that is being banded this month!
