I have seen a couple of people say that they have surgery dates in Oct and I know that I have really enjoyed reading the other months groups as people went through their pre op/surgery/post op journey and I was wondering if we can go ahead and start a group for the October folks! I am really hoping to have a mid Oct surgery date and as of now only have one more weigh in to go!

So how about it? Can we get a pre band Oct 2011 group started?

Hello formykids... I am all for being apart of this group. My surgery is scheduled for October 14th!!! Yay... SO what do we do as a group??? I started my journey by attending a seminar on August 18. I did all the requirements and the nurse submitted my papers to insurance this past Tues 9/13 and I was approved for surgery two days later Thur 9/15. I have to do a 10 day Atkins diet for my pre-op diet. I'm so excited. Let's go October Bandsters!!!

As a group we just support each other as our journeys are fairly close together. The whole board is a great support and I think that the previous boards by the banding month have been great in supporting people as they go through the pre op and surgery and post op especially since we do it all around the same time! Hope to see more October time frame people come out so we can all stick together! Glad to "meet" you Q-tee and I cant wait to hear more as your journey unfolds!

Hi again Q-Tee....I just saw that "AmyRose" started an October bandsters post too so maybe we should join in there and hopefully get more people in our group!!

Ok... Sounds like a great idea
