Surgery moved up!
I was scared when the phone rang this morning - and it was TWH - I was scared they were cancelling my surgery
But - they moved me from 2pm to 11am same day!
WooHoo :)

When I was at Guelph in the Or waiting room, my surgery time came and went. I immediately went to worst case. When they told me my surgeon had to leave, I was so stressed. However I was transferred to Dr. Reed who everyone has told me is one of the best. So it all worked out. My surgery was supposed to happen at 11:45 but it didn't happen until 4:00

77 lbs lost and counting!
Losing the regain! I got this!
oh no - that would be awful - to get to that point and have it all cancelled/postponed :(
I think my biggest issue would be having to do these shakes again for 2 more weeks :(

I agree. I know I only had to do a week but I would not have wanted to do that over. Plus we had rearranged our schedules - my husband and oldest son work weekends and both had it off so that we could stay in Milton closer to the hospital.
