As patiently as I could I waited for my turn and it has finally come.

April 14/14 in Hamilton with Dr. Anvari. 

I don't have to do the optifast, which is a good thing because yesterday when I got the script for it the pharmacy was closed for inventory.  I will sound like a broken record, but I am freaking out... no matter how much I wanted this day to come where I could post my date, I am incredibly nervous.  I was kind of looking forward to the optifast to get me in gear towards surgery and I find it strange, but I will take it.

I was told not to bother with the opti as the surgery was booked too soon and I wouldn't get the full 2 weeks in.  I was also told that because my BMI isn't higher it would be fine not to do it.  Trust me I'm freaking.  In my mind I'm thinking I should be drinking only those right now and here I am having normal meals.  Low fat meals and no more than 1200 calories for the day.

I am scheduled for 12 noon.  You will be done while I'm hyperventilating - LOL.  Good luck to you!  I hope you are as excited as I am to be at this point.
