YAHOOOO!!!! I have heard great things about Dr. Penner. Which hospital is he based out of TWH? If so that means you should have surgery 2-4 weeks after you meet him. When I went for my suergon app TWH was booking for 2 weeks later. Way to go girl!

Thanks Chriistel!! Yup, Dr. Penner is out of TWH. I really hope that the 2-4 weeks is still the timeline! I will be on Optifast for at least 3 weeks, maybe 4, so if I could be in surgery for the end of October I'd be over the moon!! 

Hope you are surviving Opti so far ;)

Thanks Leslie!! I can't stop doing a happy dance around the office - good thing it's only the dogs here watching me, haha ;) This totally made my weekend! 

I am definitely going to go out get a good blender this weekend! And I'll be picking up lots of flavour extracts and maybe one or two sugar free syrups for Opti :) I'm thinking I'll get 3 weeks, maybe 4, so I should be well-versed in Opti recipes by the time I'm done!!!

Yeah, even if surgery gets scheduled before the alloted time you need on Opti they will reduce your opti time actually so it would work out in your favor. I am on day 3 of Opti...not that bad actually.

 

I am so excited for you, just think you could be having surgery maybe a few weeks after me! YAHOO!

Glad you are getting through Opti - I didn't mind the taste too much when we sampled it in the class, add some flavour extracts and ice and it might taste good! Or ok, at least lol. 

I'm excited too :D That would be funny if I was a few weeks after you - last time this week I was stressing thinking that I wouldn't get scheduled until January or February! I won't be able to sleep now waiting for this appointment!

Thanks so much! I know, it's been a fast process for me so far. I really lucked out on being offered cancellations for all my appointments at TWH :)
