Finished all the PAC testing (for the second time, since I had a pulmonary embolism a few days before my previous surgery date).

I have lost 15 Ibs before starting the "Optifast period".

I am milk sensitive - so I am on the Protein Sparing 900 Cal diet alternative that the nutritionist Katie Warwick gave me.  Not too tough so far - since I can have water, clear broth, black coffee/tea, no-sugar drinks (splenda or aspartame) and SF Jello.

Just updating.

So glad everyone talks about their questions and fears here.  I love reading and learning from your experiences!

 I was there Monday.  It was a bit temper testing, as I travel a lot to get there only to tell them what they tell me in return.  But, it is what it is. =)

Good Luck on your surgeries!  Dr. Cyriac and Dr. Aarts did my surgery on August 1st at TEGH and it went very well.  They were very calm and he has a great bedside manner.  The only hiccup was the hospital admission telling me that I wasn't scheduled for surgery when I was on my way down to Toronto from Northern Ontario.  You have to call the admission dept. the day before your surgery after 3pm...I was already on my way to Toronto when I called.   I made a quick call to Dr. Cyriac's office and it got sorted out quickly.  Both doctors usually do the surgery together so I was actually scheduled under Aarts.  I was there 2 days and was released on the third.

Good luck and keep us posted!
