Hi everyone, my surgery date is the 28th at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, Iowa. Had my pre-op appointment today. Looks like the next appointment is surgery day. I'm feeling pretty excited so far, the nervousness has not set in yet. I am on a 2 week puréed diet. I have learned a lot from reading everyone's posts, thank you. Wishing everyone the best in your new journey.
