I will be banded on october 17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(tentitively,..waiting for insurence) I am excited, although this time when i went to get weighed my BMI went down under 40. I hope that the insurence will go through!!!

Im soo excited. I got my surgery date today....October 3rd..finally

I will be done 22 October, which is 21 October to any nothern hemisphere people here.

as for what to call us, I have no idea. I noticed a lot of halloween related themes. That would suit the Americans amongst us, but what would people who aren't American be called, since halloween is an American holiday and not universal?

As for October here, its a perfect month to be done in. Weather getting nicer and we are gearing up for summer, so I get the double whammy of an op that reduces my hunger and the weather making me not want to eat much anyway. woo hoo.

Can I join? I just finished my 6month diet and am meeting with for my console this Monday. I have all necessary paperwork from my primary care. I am ready!!!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for mid-October.

BTW, I like the smashing pumpkins!

I will be banded on October 10th at occ, anyone else going to be there then?

Hi Guys. I wanted to stop by and *sigh* about my wait until my consult appointment. Feels like it's taking forever...! Hope everyone is dong well. I'm in Denver so I'm going to head downtown and check out all the madness this week since my school campus is closed !

I'm scheduled for Oct. 13. I can hardly believe I finally have a date.

Good luck to everyone.

Mine is the 3rd and I'm about to go insane waiting (and, in all honesty, it's only a week). I think I'm just eager to start the ball rolling in a definite direction.

My surgery is 10/02/08! Can I be a smashing pumkin too?

I'm happy to be a Smashing Pumpkin! I got the flag already!!:tt2:

Swalesfcc- I am being banded at the occ on 10-30 so I would love for you to let me know about your experience with them.

I hear nothing but good things...we'll see!

My surgery date has been pushed back a week, so I will be having surgery on the 17th. I will post how everything goes ASAP. Everything I have heard has been very positive as well, I am really excited!

I am getting super nervous! Next week at this time I will have a band. This may sound kinda crazy but I have been taking vitamins and all kinds of things to make sure I am Super healthy for surgery.

Swalesfcc-that sounds great! Good luck and I will look fwd to hearing all about it!
