I just came from my meet the surgeon in Hamilton. They went over my lastest blood work results. Next she gave me a script for my opti and another for my post op blood thinners. I was then handed over to the pre op intake lady who scheduled my surgery date as well as my pre op class. She also gave my my optifast dos and don'ts hand out.
Now I sit patiently and sip my opti until surgery day 
Hope this helps
