The big day is here

I'm going in tomorrow for surgery. Getting a duodenal switch at 9:00am. I'm a little nervous.  Wish me luck.

The guys on the men's board, that have had the DS, lose their excess weight very successfully. No reason why you can't be the next. Make sure to take full advantage of the meds, offered or not. Get up and walk ASAP, it hurts, but helps in the long run. Give yourself time to heal. You'll be losing in no time at all. Welcome to the loser's bench! Ronnie

Hey Buddy. We're WLS twins. I'll be on the table the same time as you. I'm scheduled for an RNY at 9:30AM. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger. Stop back this weekend and we'll compare war stories and scars. DD

you'll do fine Mike. just think, when you wake up you'll be thin! carbonblob

I'm with you also.  My surgery in tomorrow at 10:00am.  It will be interesting how we all do in comparision.  Good Luck W.

Hey Mike, Good luck. You're getting more than a duodenal switch tomorrow--you're getting a new, better, more exciting life! We'll be waiting to hear from you soon.

All the best tomorrow, Mike.......it's going to be great!  Just remember to save me a little room on the Loser's Bench as I'm not going to get there for another two months! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow, buddy! Bill

Hey Mike - congrats on your surgery day arriving!  I'm 5 weeks post-op tomorrow, and you'll be surprised how quickly the time flies by!!!!    Best of luck tomorrow, Chuck
