What I have learned on 3 days of Opti...

Surgery class and meeting the surgeon on Feb 7,

Having done Core (26 weeks) Program, I found the class and documentation very repetitive. However, losing the weight wasn't the problem, keeping it off was the problem I couldn't solve.  

Going through WMC at The Ottawa Hopital - Civic Campus.

I meet the surgeon on the 7th too, in Guelph mind you. Hoping to get a surgery date for next month, going by what some people in the last week or two have gotten.

Losing a lot of weight has always been hard for me, and keeping it off, I think that's a problem we all have in common unfortunately. But, alas, we are trying a very different route than alot of people would, by doing the surgery, and it will be a great tool for us. I'm looking forward to getting surgery done an over with and have a fresh start at this weight loss thing, I've tried all through out my life, and of course keeping it off.

Good luck with your appointment on Tuesday!
