TUESDAY IS SURGERY DAY
Hi it's me MJ - Happy Saturday. I am on my 12th day of Opti-Fast and it has gone well! Thank you so much for your support. I have started a blog - I would love it if you could follow me - missmac67 - if you have a blog please let me know I will read it! It's a lots-to-do-da day today. I feel good and have a lot of energy finally. I will look over my suitcase and pack my things this weekend. Yesterday was my last day of work so I have Monday off. Does anyone have any advise for me? I would really appreciate it. I think I have to set up my Service Canada account so I can apply for EI and I also want to put a Will in place - just in case I have a 13 year old and I don't want any misunderstandings. I ordered my medical ID bracelet it should be pretty nice - better be it cost me almost $100 US. LOL I have purchased my supplements. Well that is me for now!
Sounds like you are well prepared. Take lots of pre-op photos as you will be amazed by the comparison after surgery and how quickly your appearance changes. My surgery was on a Tuesday as well. I was home by Thursday afternoon. Best of luck to you xoxox

It's almost surgery time, MJ! That's so exciting. I am pre-surgery so really cant offer advice. It sounds like you've covered some really important bases. As for preparing, many have asked what to bring to the hospital, so you can do a quick search if you need ideas. Before and monthly pictures are often recommended too.
Post as soon as you feel up to it and let us know how you're doing!
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Choose happy.
