I recieved the optifast shakes last week but still no dr's appt. Should  I call the dr's office or will they call me with a date? I don't want to annoy anyone at his office.

Hi Tammy,
I am hoping to have my surgery this year.
How did you find the surgery? Any regrets?
Where did you get the Optifast? Any suggestions as to where I can purchase it less expensive?
Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

I received my Optifast in November, I didn't have surgery until January 24th, but I had my date when they ordered the Optifast.

With Dr Grantcharov's office the secretary has to wait for the schedule before she can book appointments... I received my optifast about a month and a half before my surgery - You could give the office a call and just follow up but she will tell you that she'll give you a call once they have the schedule for the next month.

I got the script for Optifast when I saw my surgeon on April 24th.  They called a week later with my surgery date.  My surgery isn't until May 26th.  I have lots of time to stare at it before I can use it .

I am going through Hamilton and I got the optifast on March 17th but I didn't get a surgery date until more than 4 weeks later.  My date is May 30th and I start the optifast on May 14th.  It's amazing how centres are so different.
