Hey Jo,

you order your shakes at the surgeon appointment

preop is about a month prior to surgery

and as someone else mentioned, they are booking rather late out, it will be 4.5 months from surgeon to surgery for me

You are scheduled 3 days before me for surgery, we might see each other there!

Hi Jo,

I had my "Meet the Surgeon" appt in March and am having my Surgery Aug 1st. I had my pre-op 3 weeks before surgery date. You order your Optifast at the same time of meeting the surgeon, and they will be shipped to you closer to the date you need to start them.

Thanks so much!! It really is, I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. With the help of this page, and a few others on FB, plus my family and friends I am so ready for this! I felt like from March until when I started Opti 2 weeks ago that it was soooooooo long and soooo far away, but BAM here I am last week of Opti and getting ready to take off with this journey
