Let's do it! My surgery is Oct 9th. I can't wait!!

Mine should be at the end of Oct (hopefully sooner- will find out definitely next week). I can't wait!

LOL what an awesome flag!

Count me in! My date is Oct. 14th. Best of everything to us all!!

I'm in too!! October 2! Do we have a name yet? :thumbup:

We had discussed "smashing pumpkins" because that emcompasses fall and halloween (and all things October), but I don't think we've set it in stone. :w00t:

Are you guys getting food etc together already for post surgery? I hate to wait until the last minute but it seems early. Guess I just want to do something to get ready. I am soooo ready!

I haven't been to nutrition class yet so am not sure of the post op steps, but I have spent a couple of hundred dollars trying different protein drinks. The GenSoy I took back as disgusting and stinky!!!!

I have bought the clear fruit flavored Isopures as I know that there is a week of clear liquids post op and I know we need protein to heal.

My date is October 10th! I am very excited and a little nervous at the same time. I am self pay and will be having surgery in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz. Anyone else going to OCC the same time?

(this will be my 4th time typing this, let's see if I can actually post this)

I've been putting off buying stuff until I went to the nutritionist, which was today. She brought me a bunch of literature and a card to be able to order off the children's menu. I'm going to go through it tonight and compare it to the lists here and get to shopping.

I'm in too!! October 2! Do we have a name yet?

We could be twins, reborn on the same day!:thumbup:

oct 7th!!! smashing pumpkins!:tt2:

I'm October 7th Also!!! I love the name Smashing Pumpkins!

Just got the call, 10/7/08 for me. My daughter is devestated because it's a day after her birthday. I told her we can Celebrate it early, and she said its not the same . She'll be 13. Maybe that explains ita all.

9/22 I go to the pre-op class...and 9/23 start the liquid diet.

Nice to see theres a few of us here...

ellinda, she's 13, they all hate change. Congrats on getting a date!
