Met with Surgeon

Saw Surgeon Oct 4 at TWH, Dr. Rotstein will be doing the procedure, anyone have any experience with him?

went well i thought mostly question and answer session, sign some forms,do the optifast thing, i get 4 weeks of opti, oh joy

he is going to call with a date, surgery to be done at St Mikes in T.O. hoping before Christmas

starting to get my opti flavours ready, broth, S F popsicles etc etc

the opti journey begins with one shake

feels good to have one more step behind me, next is a pre op mtg date TBA and then the big day, so i'm getting there

Exciting!  Dr Rotstein is a fabulous doctor and St Mikes is a great hospital, you will be very pleased (I used to work there and know him as he worked with my previous boss).

All the best, everything is going to be great!
