Just got my date!!!

Congrats!!! Best of luck with opti. When it's my turn I'm thinking of doing half half and mixing the vanilla once a day with coffee for a 'latte'. 

Just noticed in your signature that you had an endoscopy. ..was that for the stomach? I hope to god is not mandatory. I had one done once and it was my hell on earth - barely made it through. 

I had an endoscopy because I'm on heartburn meds. Even though I'd had one before, they need to make sure there is nothing wrong that could affect surgery. In my case they took 3 biopsies and everything was fine. I'm on the strongest heartburn med prescription twice per day and still get some heartburn at times! Turns out it's just severe GERD and the surgeon thinks I could potentially be completely off of those meds 1 week post surgery!!! The endoscopy definitely was not fun.

Awesome news!!  Do you know who your surgeon is in Ottawa?
