I finally get to post this - GOT MY SURGERY DATE OTTAWA

After a year of reading nearly every post on this board and dreaming of being able to make this post, the day is here!!!!

Surgery is scheduled for July 14th!!!!! Optifast starts June 23rd, the day after my birthday!!!!

Thanks to everyone who has made any posts or comments over the past year, I have learned from you and felt supported by you. I know a few people who met the surgeon the same day or a few weeks after me, please update when you get your call so we can all support each other.

Congratulations!  I too can't wait for the day I can post the same.

OMG - yahoo!!! 

So happy for you Amber.  Did they give you a PATTS date too at the same time? 

If they follow this timeline then I should be getting a call in a few weeks.

Thank you for the info!!  I will definitely let you and the world know when I finally get my date. lol

Julie...you are next my friend...exciting....

I know...maybe next week I'll hear from them.  But you're gonna love me even more now since I decided to push my surgery at the end of August since I planned a couple of family vacations with my husband and boys.  I don't want them to miss out on summer. But my time will come, and at the end of August, it will be MY TURN .  So maybe that will put you before me   

Ha ha, that is so funny - I love it!  What a crazy process eh?  Do you know what weeks the centre is closing for in July?  I am assuming it is the last 2 weeks as they are booking for July 14th.  If so I would be bumped to August for sure.  Its supposed to be nice weather this weekend, hope you have a good one :0)

 Ye!!!  Glad to here you got your call.  SO EXCITING   

so happy for you. wish I could make up my mind, I was offered a June date and deferred it to sept thinking i could lose it on my own but now I am not sure, its is so hard :(

I'm so excited for you!! I have to wait until things are settled between insurance and hospital. I'm so excited but might have to wait until November. It's okay, at least I know it's coming. I'm really happy for you. Good luck!!

Congratulations!!!!!  I can't wait to be able to say that as well!!!  :)
