Greetings from Sunny AZ!

I have to start off by saying that this site ROCKS! I have enjoyed all the different threads and support. Thanks to everyone!

Last night I had the craziest dream! I had been approved and was getting ready for my surgery. I had a nurse that shoved an IV in my arm and left me standing alone in a room. Then I found myself walking into another surgery that was being performed. Before you know it the nurse gave me scrubs to put on. That's the jest of it. I haven't even been approved and here I am having these crazy dreams.

I've never had any surgery of any kind. Can anyone please give me some advice? Thanks so much!

Keep up the great work!

Just Me, Brenda B. :biggrin:

Don't stress... it really is quite a simple same day in out procedure. It's the recovery that blows, but every body is different some get gas pains, some have port pains - some have no pain, but don't be scared. I, too, like you, joined the site before I had my surgery and found it to be good and bad - bc not all threads are positive, but don't let that sway you one way or the other - I am 18 days post op and feel good but won't lie to you and say the first 2 weeks were trying.

Welcome to the forum Brenda! What an odd dream. Ok - let's interpret it. The IV part probably indicates that you are nervous about having an IV. Don't worry - it's nothing (but you might ask if they will put it in your arm instead of in the back of your hand - less painful). Then the part where you go into surgery and have to put on scrubs....that part probably means that you are anxious about a procedure where you won't be in control and you really wish you could be one of the people in charge, instead of the patient?

Or, maybe you just had too much wine with dinner the night before! LOL!

Best of luck to you, and enjoy the forum.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
