I was wondering if this was a problem for others before you had surgery. I have had nightmares since I was told I was approved for surgery. Granted my surgery is in November, I have had dreams about failing my diet, being put under,waking up during surgery did everyone else do this? I wish my day was next week or tomorrow because I hate this feeling. I feel like im trying to talk myself out of doing the surgery. Yikes!!!! is this my nerves that is making my mind play tricks on me?

It probably is your mind going 100 miles an hour anticipating every possible problem.

I don't usually have nightmares but am the Dream Queen.

Not sure how you get those thoughts out of your head but hope you get some good nights of sleep soon!!

My surgery is 10/14 and sometimes I dream if awful things like mourning food and being in a lot of pain and not being able to work. But I also dream of amazing things like slipping into a pair of perfect curve hugging jeans or chasing my kids around. I dream of my sleeve almost nightly.

I'm glad its not only me. I thought I obsessed over this surgery before but it seems to have worsened since I have approval and a date. This date can't get here fast enough

I don't recall any bad dreams pre-surgery. But I sure had them post-op, for about a week. I was dreaming I was in a post-apocalyptic world and was being quizzed to see if I had enough skills to be a valuable member of the team. :wacko:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
