Anyone else? And if you are...are you nervous? Excited? What have you done to prepare?? I'm gonna need to talk this out!!

I am scheduled for April 13 and happy about it but a little nervous, too. Not about the surgery but about being successful afterwards.

I'm scheduled on 4/16 for Duodenal Switch surgery. I've just been reading up on everything I can on the procedure and this forum to help reduce anxiety. I have started buying chicken and beef broth and will try to have everything I need for the various diet stages.

Yes, I'm a little nervous too. The only surgery I've had is the removal of tonsils and that was 56 years ago lol. I watch too many medical TV shows and worry about complications during surgery.

Hang in there !

UPDATE!!

So today I actually got my clearance from my PCP! Last things on my list...

Chest Xray next week

Surgical clearance 3/25

Waiting in results of my echo done 3/12

I'm a ball of emotions guys![emoji3059]

It's MY time!
