That is wonderful to read. Did anyone have their spouse / partner / family or friend stay with them over night ( night 1)?

I went the same route and got the call February 3rd, met Dr. Bhojani on the 10th and was booked for surgery on March 22nd. It's amazing the date still stick in my head as they are so significant.

Congratulations Blue eyes - so exciting. Be prepared to buy your Opti at this visit. I got half and half, but preferred chocolate - either way, it's all good.

Do we come home with the opti or is it mailed to us? I'll do a half and half too. Thanks for your kind words. I'm not really sure who I'm seeing? She said it really fast. She ( the lady on the phone) said "everyone calls him Dr. Jewels". I have no idea what that really means?

I don't know who she means either. Yes, you take the Opti home with you as they have it packed for you in a large plastic bag. I believe it's $100 per week and they do take credit and debit (at TWH they didn't take debit). I was on it for two weeks and just alternated each meal. Some mix the two together (I'd be worried about mixing up the quantities). Look up the surgeons on their site. If they mean Dr. Bhojani, I never heard him called that. Either way, you're in good hands.

I googled Guelph and looked at the names of the doctors on the team. His name is a mouthful, it's hard to say. I googled him. He's been doing this over 5 years and in late 2016 had completed over 800+ surgeries. His rating on WEB MD was 5/5 for everyone! I'm eager to me him.
