Hello everyone

i have been a silent stalker for awhile now.

ihave been going through the process for over 2 years now, through Toronto Western. My surgery date is Sept 2nd. And I am now on my second week of Opti. (Yummy)lol

I have to say I have learned a lot from the posts on here. I wouldn't have gotten through the first week of opti if it wasn't for the helpful tips on flavour options.

Hopefully I will be able to share parts of my experience with others on here down the road.

I am very excited nervous and a little scared but I know this is something I have to do for me.

At one point I didn't think I was ever going to get there. Now it's just around the corner. i have to take it for 4 weeks right up to the day before surgery.
