Hollie519 1 Posted August 23, 2008 Do i get to be apart of this since my surgery was October 3, 2007? Don't be afraid, the band has the possibility of being the best change you could have ever made. It's completely worth it. :] Good luck and all you Octobers will be in my prayers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
