The clinic I went through ordered the Optifast and had it sent to my house.

I didn't drink much of it as it was irritating to my stomach. I am lactose intolerant and they didn't tell me Optifast had some milk fat in it until I let them know how much it was making me sick. They then told me I could drink whatever Protein drink I wanted if it had a high Protein content and not just something like slim fast or carnation instant Breakfast that had lots of carbs.

Good luck on your pre-op diet and surgery.

Hi , my wife found the Optifast for me on ebay , but I found that the optislim tasted a lot better . I am not sure if optislim is available in the USA but ebay is a good bet to find either one at a good price , I have lost 47 kilos in 18 months since being banded, the best thing I have ever done.....good luck regards...... paul

hi check online at any pharmacy, call walgreens, they have it online. or ask them to order it for you. trust me the doctor office can be expensive that,s why they want you to spend so much money. i know it is worth it if you have the money, but yes chech the pharmacy either online or give them a call.

I've only been able to buy Optifast through my doctor or on Ebay. If your doctor wants to do Optifast pre-op, the office should be able to order it for you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
