I got my date yesterday during my OTN appointment with Dr. Smith. My surgery is scheduled on March 24 in Thunder Bay. I start on Boost Diabetic today and drink that until my Optifast is delivered. How long does it usually take for delivery?

Thanks! I live over 5 hours away from my surgeon so I had no choice but to order it.

Thanks! Reality has set in and I'm starting to panic. I've gone through so many emotions in the past 2 days. I never thought that the process would go this fast, however, I feel fortunate that it has.
