I know how you feel, I got a call and they gave me a date earlier too. I am sure they would not if the doctor did not feel it was safe..

Woohoo!! Congrats!! Your day will be here before you know it and you'll wonder what you were freaking out about!! I am envious on the opti...21 days seemed to be an eternity for me when it came to that part of the journey!! You are going to do great!!
That is so exciting, but nerve-wracking at the same time! I think the Opti time will be fine - like others said, they probably looked at who could best manage with the short time on Opti (less weight to lose, therefore likely a less fatty liver). Congrats and enjoy the (shortened) ride to the bench!
