Yes you will (unless it changed in the last month) Had my appointment with Jackson, signed all my consent sand left with my date. My appointment was Sept 16th and my surgery is on Tuesday! Dont forget to bring your Visa as you need it to order your Optifast. They will deliver it to you within a week.

At my appointment they were running late so be prepared to wait but its worth it!

It will be your turn before you know it.

Good luck Leslie

Wow Leslie, I didn't realize that you got your actual surgery date when you went up for your meeting with the surgeon! I thought that you had to come back home and wait and wait again for the phone to ring with your date.  That's very good to hear!

Good luck next Tuesday     I'll send some positive thoughts out to you for an easy surgery and a speedy recovery!!!!!!

So glad you are meeting with the extremely handsome Dr. Jackson on the 18th.  As noted, he tends to run late but he takes his time once he meets with you.  And yes (at TWH)  - you will get your surgery date and put in your order for Optifast that day. 

Your new beginning is approaching fast - congrat's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have reached my goal weight ..... and LOVE my RNY !!!!!!!!!

Yes ...I believe the consent is signed that day also....
He is so patient and probably most of your questions will be answered by him but it's always good to have a list handy....

And YES.....I am getting very excited about the 14th - 1 week today 

I have reached my goal weight ..... and LOVE my RNY !!!!!!!!!
