Pre-surgery Nightmares



Recommended Posts

I just had my first, and hopefully last, pre-surgery nightmare. In it, I had my surgery, but it didn't work. I was eating everything in sight, but was starving. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what was behind it, but it really rattled me. It reminded of all of those bad dreams I would have when I was dieting. Breaking my diet and eating non-stop. Has anyone else had bad dreams prior to surgery?

Yeah most of them dealt with my sense of unworthiness. I would dream I woke up and for various reasons I had not had a successful one.
internal malformation
liver too big
My stomach was funny-looking
I had 3 kidneys, well I really do, but that is no bar to surgery
My intestines were too small? hnnh?
My intestine lay funny
But my all-time crazy weird pre-surg nightmare?
My intestine ran the wrong direction and Dr Needleman refused,to stand on his head. That one even woke me up, I'm laying in bed saying What did I JUST dream?
No big problems encountered, had my RNY bypass September 5 2018, and Dr Needleman had no complaints, normal amount of time, and he must have appreciated the downsizing of my liver, the 4+ weeks of liver-shrinking worked, as well as paring of 15 pounds from my too too flabby flesh! And I have achieved my 1st mini-goal, I am now UNDER 300 pounds, 298,6 yesterday! Now to feel better and look less bashed up, but maybe I just want it all!🐵🙈🙉🙊

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
