Hey everyone! I know that October seems like forever away, but I was just seeing if there is anyone out there that wants some help and support through the long days leading up to the best thing that will every happen to us!? Can't wait to hear some support and excitement.

Yeah, I'm pretty excited, nervous and scared.

I hit disgusted yesterday when I got on the scale and saw the results of my two week long "last meal" binge.

Thanks for making me giggle! I needed that.

KarenK,

Just tell yourself 10 times, "the scale is my friend."

Then take a hammer to it and beat it all to pieces. I promise, it will make you feel better.

Hi! My date is October 1st! Only 5 more days! I am so excited!

KarenK,

At least they made my mother wait in the other room while they forced me on the scale - my size 8 mother who complained the entire way to the doctor's office about the extra 5 pounds left over from her Alaskan cruise she still needs to lose .

Talk to me when it's 105, mother!

Shanna234 - best of luck to you.

Hello Everyone, I am a 65 yr old female that just received notice yesterday that my insurance has approved my lap band, I have a date of Oct. 24, I really need everyone's prayers. I have a liver condition called NASH which has turn into cirrhosis, my gastro dr. advised me to get the proceduer, he said it would help my liver. Has anyone ever heard of this?

Hi Bradley18! It's nice to meet you! I have not heard of NASH before, and I'm sorry you have it. I bet once you have your surgery and loose the weight you will feel 100% better. My surgery date is October 27th and I am doing it because my PCP pushed me for it. I'm only 33 though, I bet you will feel like a kid again (no offense) :thumbup:

October 7th here! Very soon....

Gosh everyone, I am way too happy and anxious!

Wooohooo! I got moved up a date! I am so excited. I am now on the 8th! Yesssss!

I am nervous and excited all at the same time. Working on my Fatty Liver diet and I am getting used to it. I figured I had to... Seen as how in 12 days I will not be eating anything! LOL! I am so excited for all of us!

what's the trick on the Fatty Liver Diet? My band date is 10/21!

SoCal.. that is why i started mine early.. Never to early to get used to not eating ha ha.. I think Sunday Monday and Tuesday I am going to do all liquid and not have my one no carb meal. I figure that is all I will be doing afterwards I might as well get used to it... :thumbup:

So, Liquids for the day and 1 no carb meal?

Wow!! :lol:Look at all of these October Bandsters/Smashing Pumpkins!
