Update

Hi folks just a little update on how my progress is going, I saw the surgeon ( Dr Hagen) last week and picked up my optifast. My appointment was very brief, he weighed me again and took some notes and asked me how I was feeling and if I still want to and if I'm ready to do this. Of course I responded yes he sent me on my way and told me his secretary will take care of everything else that I need. His secretary Ella was super nice and helpful gave me my pre-op package optifast and my sick leave note for work. She told me that the hospital will be contacting me with my appointment with the anesthesiologist and pre-op which is about a 4 hour appointment.

Oh yeah and my surgery is booked for Friday March 15th!!

You're on your way. It won't be long now.

:)

Wonderful news. It won't be long now before you are on the loser's bench. I'm saving a comfy place for you.

I found there were a few rough spots and splinters on the bench, but I've sanded down a spot for you, and I'll keep it warm for the 15th. Optifast was tough, but every night I would have two cups of greens. Sliced cucumber with salt and vinegar, or slices of green pepper, or broccoli cooked with a little horseradish added for flavour. Saved me big time. Drink tons of water to flush out the toxins and after a few days of feeling crappy, all of a sudden you have energy and feel great. I'm in your corner!! Elizabeth ð?¤--

Congratulations on your date! You are going to do fantastic!!

I have completed my orientation, trios, meet the surgeon and tomorrow I finally me with Dr. Glazer (internist). When I met with Dr. Hagen yesterday he told me I could call and book my surgery date .

I am going to wait until I get the all clear tomorrow. Such an exciting time.
