No, not a boyfriend date...that will happen eventually ;) My surgery date is July 2nd and its SOOO fitting since its the day before my birthday - I'll be born again LOL! So happy to be having this opportunity to get a new lease on life :)

Is anyone else having their surgery done on July 2nd at HRRH?

This week Tuesday I start my OptiFast and Thursday I have my PATTs. Does anyone know how long getting your PATTs done takes roughly?

I hope you're all having a great weekend!

Congrats about getting your date. As to PATTS, bring a book with you. Sometimes it is a short time - 1.5 hours or sometimes most of the day. So plan your Optifast and bring your shaker bottle and packet(s) of Optifast.

Thank you!

Hi Katiebear - No they're not open on Sundays ...I found out earlier last week. I just finally had time to sit down and log in here! My referral was actually sent Spring of last year but somehow the Bariatric Center said they didn't get any of my family doctor's faxes nor the filled out forms online. Shame on me for trusting the "dont call us, we'll call you" shpeal. My family doctor was as upset as I was and he spoke to them on January 17th this year and on that same day, I got a call from the Bariatric Center telling me to go to the Info Session on January 28th and so the ball kept rolling from there. I've learned my lesson and am not ashamed to call them until I get an answer for anything.

Hi JJ and Krista - thank you for the tips! I'll certainly be prepared for my PATTs! My surgeon is Dr. Klein and he's such an amazing doctor to talk to!
