I am so excited! My surgery date is set for October 6th, which just happens to be my dh and my wedding anniversry. I wont forget either date now...not that I would.

I am so happy, I've been dancing around, talking non-stop, and probably driving all my friends, family , and co-workers crazy...and I only have known the date for one day!! Everyone I know is going to know about the band, whether they want to or not, just because of my intense enthusiasm!

A bunch of my friends and I were planning to go to this great restaurant called BUCA'S to Celebrate my best friend's birthday... we are going there on Oct. 4th, which is the last day I can eat before the surgery...so, we'll celebrate my LAST SUPPER, too. I think it's just perfect.

Whoo-hoo whoo-hoo...doin' the happy dance......

Congratulations, how exciting! I'm so glad to hear everything is in order.

I, too, may be having my surgery Oct. 6th at the U of M Fairview. Isn't that funny? I still have to have prescreening and stuff like that, so we'll see if that date still works after the first part of next week.

It sure is great to know someone else from Minnesota who is going to have surgury so close!

Congrats again!

It would be weird if you were to have surgery on the 6th too...Do you know of any support groups?? Some of the Banded patients from Methodist are starting one in October, the first meeting will be on the 15th. If you want more info, e-mail me, or write it here, then I'll ask the gal who's having it if any extra are welcome, I'm sure they would be.

Have I mentioned that I am way excited???
