Bandista 7,466 Posted October 11, 2013 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!!! 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! 1 mycherie000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandista 7,466 Posted October 11, 2013 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! 1 forwardlooking reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kmb67 14 Posted October 11, 2013 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. 2 lasal and Bandista reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swankybangles 51 Posted October 11, 2013 Yay for November band buddies! I'm so excited for each and every one of you! Words cannot explain how grateful I am for this forum! So much helpful insight and so many amazing people! The nerves have been getting to me the last few days but I think it's a combination of excitement and impatience haha 1 Bandista reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
