Ah - yes that is what I had always thought - but I had heard recently that all surgeries were at TWH for some reason - which is why there was a larger than normal back log.

Good luck with everything - I was hoping for TWH or St Mikes - so glad I got one of them - the TEGH would have been a bit more inconvenient for me - but still very doable

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!

We'll be going through this at around the same time; my pre-surgery appointment is January 10th, and my surgery is Feb. 1st (at St. Jospeh's. I have to do 3 weeks of Opti though. I've heard the slimtime tastes nicer.

It was so easy to get Slimtime - All I said was that I heard that Slim Time was made with Splenda instead of Aspartame - and that I didn't have an allergy to aspartame - I just didn't like it

I should try that; I hate aspartame. It's so bad for us. I prefer splenda too.
