I see there is a list of August banders Wondering who else will be October? Mine is October 6:)

Hi Ialadybug,

I'm a fellow October bandster; I'm scheduled for Oct. 30 - WHICH SEEMS LIKE A CENTURY AWAY! Keep us posted on your progress!

Just noticed - our birthdays are 1 day apart (although you're just a young chick); our RE-birthdays are in the same month. Cool!!

My new birthday is today Oct 2. I just made it home from the hospital.

I'll be an october bandster too - my surgery date is the 28th! I think the time will fly by....it was four weeks away on tuesday and I can't believe this week is almost over! Lulu, we'll nearly be bandster twins!!!

I'm scheduled for October 22nd - only three weeks! I've been working on this process since May, but now that it's almost here, I'm kind of scared!

I am now 2 days away from my date of October 6, starting to get a little nervous. Think I'll head to the Mall and window shop for new cloths.

Evidently not many scheduled for October yet, let us know

I see where Tosha had her surgery Oct 2 hope everything is going great for you let us know

October 25th here! can't wait!!!!!! am counting the days!

Scheduled for Oct. 20th but have not gotten approval from insurance yet so trying very hard to not have my hopes up too high. Good luck to all. I will look forward to learning from those who go before me.

All went well-http://hometown.aol.com/secretshopginger/myhomepage/index.html

here is a quick link with my photo and my online journal if you want to hear about my surgery!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Your presurgery testing was alot different than mine!! I went to the hospital about a week before surgery They drew blood to type in case something goes wrong, took my blood pressure, temp ekg talked w/anatheselogy (that doesn't look right but too early in the am to find the dictionary) and went home

I'm an October bandster, too. October 15th!

Hi Cindy, I guess we're gonna be twins! My surgery is also on 10/30. I thought the time would drag until that day, but it is flying by faster than ever! On Thursday I go for my pre-surgery consult with the dietician, and next Thursday I'll go for the lab work. What's your schedule?
