Hi Allie! Yaaaaaay! Huge CONGRATS on booking your procedure for October. I, too, remember having the combined feelings of both nervousness and excitement pre-procedure. You are going to do AMAZING! As for the weather, it will definitely be light-medium jacket weather then and is just gorgeous in the Fall season. You will be pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it is and you will definitely have some time for exploration after dilating on Day 2. The coast is so close to Manchester too and, again, is just so beautiful.
There was also an excellent blog written last week that discusses some very helpful pre-procedure tips.

Hope this helps and, again, I’m very excited for you; know you will do GREAT; and this procedure is truly life-changing in every way!
