I know there is an October group here somewhere but I thought I would start this off by introducing ourselves!

I'm 25 years old and from British Columbia, Canada. My surgery is set for October 2. My pre op ensure shake diet starts September 2 but I have started a week early for a head start I am

A nurse by profession and engaged but no kids. With my history of PCOS kids will come after I drop the weight. Starting weight: 280lbs Current Weight: 275 and losing everyday!!

Trail, just go in really hydrated, grim a nursing standpoint, well hydrated people are an easier stick!

Add me October 15 on my Birthday!! I can't wait for this amazing gift!

Hi, I am 38 yr old female 207 lbs 5' tall mother of 1 son , married 18 yrs. I am from southern MS where all things are fried and sweet tea is a stanle. I am very nervous about recovery time because I have a 5 yr old. I go not have a definite date but atentatively set for Oct. 4 th it will be in that neighborhood. Waiting insurance approval and waiting very impatiently. Good Luck Eceryone! Prayers for all.

Hello October sleevers ' date=' it is with great sadness that I have to take my name off the list.... due to health issues my general doctor doesn't advise me to go forward , it seems that I have to many underlying health issues and it would make it unsafe to go under anesthesia. Please know that I will keep all of you in my heart , my thoughts and mostly in my prayers. I wish you all nothing but success on your journey. ((( hugs)))[/quote']

I am so sorry! I pray they can resolve your medical issues soon. Please keep us posted on how u r doing.

Tell me how it goes, I will too! Just pilled into the parking lot. Woohoo

Had to take a 30 question test before my visit. Thanks to this site, I am pretty sure I aced it!!

Ok random statement as our dates are getting closer... As a sugical nurse I know when patients get laparoscopic surgery (like we will) it is a lot easier (and more pleasent) when people clean their belly buttons out prior to surgery... Just saying

Lol I have a an obsession with cleaning my belly button just because I know it can get gross like other places...

Hey anyone out there from Arizona having their surgery in Oct?

for some reason I couldn't find this thread earlier, maybe my computer is screwing up lol Speaking of the belly button cleanliness, I have to admit that I sometimes forget to clean it. I will surely try to remember to do that when I'm in the shower because I do plan on having the one incision through my belly button.

Oh I just now noticed why I wasn't able to find this thread, they moved it *slaps head*

Got a date!!!! My surgery is scheduled for October 3rd! Please move me on the list from the 2nd to the 3rd!
