Surgeon Appt Tomorrow
Do I have to bring bags to carry my shakes home tomorrow or is that at a different appointment.
I'm at TWH
Thanks
Dana

I only had one appt with the surgeon, and yes, I bought optifast at that appointment. But it was in Windsor via video conference, so... no clue.
I say bring them just in case is a good rule :)

Hi Dana, they will give you a form to fill out and you can have it delivered to your home (which I did) or you can pick it up at the Medical Mart where it is ordered from. I was at TWH. Cathy

this is exactly what they did - they are not giving any surgery apps at the moment - and don't know when they will start giving them out again.
I went with the Slimtime shakes instead of Optifast - I heard they taste better - and I really don't like aspartame

I heard they were backed up at TWH ... so you got a choice? I have never heard of SlimTime shakes, but just looked them up. I was ok with Opti Fast but know it can be an issue with some people. Good luck on everything. Cathy

I don't think I was given a choice - she brought me the ppwk for Opti - but I asked her if I could do slim time instead - she had no issues - brought me the new ppwk - doesn't hurt to ask
