Tracey Sutphin 0 Posted October 27, 2011 Hi, I sent you a fb request. Thanks so much. 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!!

juliebug 3 Posted October 27, 2011 Hello fellow November bandsters. My surgery date is 11/9 & I am interested in the FB group as well, but don't want the whole world to know I've been banded. What to do, what to do???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I-wanna-be-a-loser 10 Posted October 27, 2011 The Facebook group is private. No one but the people in the group can see it or any posts you make After I friend you and add you feel free to delete me as your friend too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FromPrisoner2Pioneer 6 Posted October 27, 2011 I'm November 3rd. I feel totally unprepared. I still have no mentor, which really bothers me. On a positive note, I finally figured out how to add the ticker at the bottom of my messages. The peer pressure was really getting to me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I-wanna-be-a-loser 10 Posted October 27, 2011 What do you mean by mentor?? Are you looking for some one to guide you through this process?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FromPrisoner2Pioneer 6 Posted October 27, 2011 WannaBe: Right, exactly. I see the value of bonding with those who have had their surgery in November, but I'd also like to have a more experienced person(s) to use as a sounding board. You know... someone who knows the ropes... someone who can point out the pot holes so we're not all recreating the wheel... someone who has a little success under their belt? After I posted the mentor thing, I found a thread dedicated to the whole mentor topic (duh) and I'm about to read that stuff right now. There's a lot to digest on this forum (no pun intended). /P2P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I-wanna-be-a-loser 10 Posted October 27, 2011 I hear you. Maybe try to find a group bear where you live. But you are more than welcome to join our Facebook group of folks doing this the same time as you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FromPrisoner2Pioneer 6 Posted October 27, 2011 juliebug, I, too, am uncomfortable with the way Facebook arbitrarily revamps their privacy settings. True, you can tweak the settings, but what's been exposed before you get it tweaked? I was thrilled to find this forum with a little more privacy? If I have to rely upon Facebook, I'm afraid I'll have to pass. /P2P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I-wanna-be-a-loser 10 Posted October 27, 2011 The group I made is totally private, no one out side of the group can see or read any posts you make or even see the group you are in. If you ar doubted add me as a friend and try to find it. I will let you be my friend and give you two days to find the group if you can you are one in a million. If you can not I will add you to the group Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linna 1 Posted October 27, 2011 Hi Prisoner, I just joined the fb nov banding group. I understand what you are talking about. The fb group is total private to the members that are accepted into it. I am doing a life changing surgery. I need the support of our nov group because we are doing it together and we will want to discuss things that we are going through together. I also want to talk here and be able to get help from anyone or maybe I might be able to help someone else in the future. Of course it isn't private like the fb group. I am happy for both of them. I hope you will join. It is a great bunch of people. Linna 1 I-wanna-be-a-loser reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
