Got my Surgery Date...and I am back at TWH
To whoever postponed their 2 pm Jan 23rd Surgery at TWH - THANK YOU!!!
The nurse called me today - and actually offered me Dec 20th as a surgery date - as much as I would have loved to - I was not able to - due to work commitments over Christmas - but I was ecstatic when my next choice was Jan 23rd - back at TWH!!!
That means I only have to do 1 surgery - instead of 2 at Guelph (I am having a lap band removed) - I am over the moon excited!!
Slimtime shakes start Jan 9th - which is also my pre-surgery appointment.
Before you know it - it will be here!
This will be the best Christmas and New Years ever!!
