Dreaming About Surgery

[lillatinmomie 62]

Has anyone ever dreamt about having surgery? I keep having good and bad dreams about having surgery. Im almost done with my pre op requirements so Im getting very anxious.

ill be sleeved on TUESDAY nov 6th and a while back i actually had a dream that my dad told me not to get the surgery done by my surgeon and that he just doesnt trust him. which is crazy because my bff's mom just got a bypass done by him a few months ago and she is healthy and looks AMAZING! i am very superstitious and look into my dreams ALL the time. i called my dad and we talked about it and i feel confident in my decision to go with him. but i do over analyze everything and i think i was just over thinking things that night. i havent had any other surgery related dreams lol just extremely anxious and excited at this point

I keep having a post op dream that I'm in the liquid only stage and I just ate real food! Seems to be a reoccurring theme in my dreams. Guess I'm worried I'll forget I just had surgery.

[lillatinmomie 62]

Oh wow tomorrow! I think I wouldn't be able to sleep lol. And wow post op dreams I can't believe it. I guess ill be having those too. I'm having crazy dreams tht the doctors keep sending me to do pre op testing.. its like the pre op testing never ends lmaoo.

I was just sleeved 5 days ago. I had dreams and hesitation all the way up until the took me into the operating room. Once I was in there I remembered everything everyone all said to me and I just closed my eyes and it was over. I woke up and I was sleeved.

I will say if anyone could have told me. The pain from the gas bubbles is not the business. Just be very very prepared for that.

I had my first dream last night..I'm scheduled for surgery in Mid-February. In my dream I woke up from surgery and my cousin was with me (we are the same age and had tonsillectomies together in grade school) and she had had the surgery too. We were asked to get up and start walking so we found our way to the hospital cafeteria where we thought we should go ahead and get some Water to start sipping. Suddenly my cousin asked me in shock, "why are you drinking BEER!?" I looked down at my hands and in one hand was my water, but the other was a bottle of beer and I felt affronted by her comment and retorted, "well it IS a clear liquid!" We finished our drinks and walked back to our rooms. Next I was laying on my hospital bed with my stomach bloated horribly and the doctor shaking his head, saying, "That amount of swelling is NOT normal, something is wrong and we'll have to re-operate" I was so ashamed of myself I woke up. It seems even in my dreams I'm attempting to self-sabotage.

I think we are scared of the whole experience. I'm over here thinking i'm going to be on liquids for the rest of my life. I have to remind my self that, that is only stage 1 and 2. @ lusiousjo I keep hearing about those gas pains i really hope it doesn't hit me hard. I am not looking forward to that, however i'm sure it will be worth it.

[lusciousjo 1]

I am telling you girl I cried like a little baby. They hurt me so bad. I ended up having to stay in the hospital for two extra days cause I could cough or the shortness of breathe but remember this is only my experience. I had the worst time passing gas. good luck.

Just remember everyone heals differently. My husband had the surgery 6 months ago & the gas pains hit him hard. I'm 6 days out and so far so good! My nurses told me that walking really does help, so no matter how groggy/medicated I am I make myself get up and go. Let us know how surgery goes!

I actually had a dream about surgery the other night but instead of my tummy they were doing surgery on one of my leg. I wasnt in pain and I wasn't scared but I was awake and asking them if they were going to try and sleeve me from there. My surgery is in January so...hopefully by then my subconscious will have them at least doing surgery on the right part of me. Lol.

[lillatinmomie 62]

Yes I heard that the gas pain is bad, but if you move it will relief some pain. So I'm going to be sure to get up and walk around. And lol @ that last comment that dream must have been funny. Through your leg lol.
