Hi ya'll! Greetings from sunny Virginia. October is just two months away and I'm so excited! My surgery is scheduled for October 6th, and I'm just freaking out with excitement, terror, and hope.

Can't wait to hear from other October RNY-ers.

• Age: 29 (only 22 days til I'm 30!)
• Starting Weight: 315lbs
• Goal: 145lbs

I think I'm looking at the end of October but I don't have a date yet. Still doing all the Insurance processing. Should get approval by the third week of September and then schedule my surgery after that. Glad you got your day of surgery. Good luck

are you having your surgery at Fair Oaks

Nope, I'm doing it at a local hospital that has a good reputation in central virginia. Are you in NoVa?

I hope to be in October as well. Everything should be done by September 13. Then submitted to ins. So Im praying for October.

I am scheduled for october 13th. It can't come soon enough! Ready to get started with my new life.

October 3!! Can't believe it's less than two months away!

Hoping to be in October as well! Set up for around October 27th if everything goes as planned! My mother and sister are both a year out so I kind of know what to expect.. Still very nervious!

Super bariatric babe I'm not in Northern Virginia. I live in Southern Maryland in LaPlata . So it's a good hour plus away for me to go to the hospital and the doctor's appointments

I'm actually pretty thrilled for an October recovery time. Going for walks when it's cool outside and the leaves are changing to their fall colors sounds like a pretty perfect day. Infinitely preferable to a sweaty hot & humid summer recovery. Plus it's just in time to keep us away from all those tempting Halloween & Thanksgiving goodies.

Hoping for late October! Finishing insurance requirements at the end of September! Getting excited/nervous! Agree with recovery in cooler weather. Very motivating to get out and walk.

I am a newbie to the forum so just lurking and checking things out. My surgery is set up for Oct. 20!

I'm hoping for late October surgery as well. I have to say it never occurred to me about the cooler weather for recovery and walking, but Oh Yeah!!! I hate the heat and how great will it be starting this journey in the fall! Thanks for mentioning that!!!! ????

The wait drives me crazy! I'll be having surgery hopefully at the end of October as well. Also in virginia - hampton roads. Good luck! You are going to do great!

I'm also hoping for October 6 or 13th. My appointments are all scheduled in August and I see my surgeon Sept 10. So if all goes well!!!!!
