Hello all, Yesterday I did my preop stuff-

Okay, I got thru the barium swallow for the upper GI! Gag!!! What a gross bussiness. Actually it wasn't too bad except for not being allowed to burp!

My anatomy is fine other than a rather scary looking hiatal hernia!?!

Today is my preop appt with the surgeon. Hope it goes well- I have lost a bit of weight thanks to stress and prozac!

Now the thing that is bothering me... dreams, really weird dreams. I recon I must be a little more nervous about surgery than I had thought. I have also developed two huge fever blisters on my lip- always a sign of intense stress for me!

Boy! Do I need to relax or what!

Are you really taking Prozac because when I was on antidepressants I had the most vivid disturbing

nightmares and dreams.

The night before my band placement surgery I had a dream that I ate a pickle without chewing it then started panicking because I thought I was going to pop my band or something horrible was going to happen.

I told the nurse about it, laughing she said your still having your last supper in bed.

It scared me so much to this day I chew very well, and yes I'v had a pickle since then.
