To whoever postponed their 2 pm Jan 23rd Surgery at TWH - THANK YOU!!!

The nurse called me today - and actually offered me Dec 20th as a surgery date - as much as I would have loved to - I was not able to - due to work commitments over Christmas - but I was ecstatic when my next choice was Jan 23rd - back at TWH!!!

That means I only have to do 1 surgery - instead of 2 at Guelph (I am having a lap band removed) - I am over the moon excited!!

Slimtime shakes start Jan 9th - which is also my pre-surgery appointment.

Before you know it - it will be here!

This will be the best Christmas and New Years ever!!

Good luck with your surgery!

How did you get St Mikes?  I thought they moved everything to TWH?

All the appointments are at TWH but the surgeons operate out of TWH, TEGH and St. Mike's depending on your surgeon.  I had two follow up appointments at St. Mike's due to some complications I had.
