Ok...I know this sounds crazy, but I had my appointment with the surgeon today and he told me that I would not have to do Optifast because my liver was the correct size. I was shocked. So I went out to talk to the booking person and she asked me if I would like to be on the waiting list because they were booking into November and December. I said yes. I had errands to do this afternoon and all afternoon I kept saying to myself, "I can't believe I don't have to do Opti" - kind of in a daze. As soon as I walked in the door I got the information that I will be having surgery this coming Tuesday. I can't believe it! All I can say is, "God is Good"!

Thanks for your support and prayers everyone!

Woohoo...that is awesome. Since you don't need opti you make getting a cancellation even easier on them.

I can't be happier for you. You will do well. Time to get all those errands done.

Awesone...doing a happy dance for you!!

Omg, my eyes just bugged out of my head. I honestly couldn't be happier for you!!!!

This is SUCH great news! I'm so thrilled for you, Barb. I know you've waited a while for this, and had a bumpy road. Just a few more days now.

Congratulations!!!!

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Choose happy.
