So I had a dream last night that my surgeon called to tell me my surgery was approved (cuz I guess he's Es McMahon in my dreams and gives people good news himself), but that insurance denies my husband's surgery.

And I was like "yeah, but I was approved? When's surgery?". Lol I didn't even care that my husband was denied!

If I wasn't in school for counseling, I would probably interpret that dream in a way that ended with me being a selfish wife. Lol

It sounds like both you and your husband are planning to have surgery at the same time.

Sounds like a bad dream. I hate strange dreams. So tonight dream that your husband was approved and you were denied. How does you husband act!

Strange dreams are just another permanent part of my life. These happened after I had a serious accident while riding my bicycle and I was definitely concussed. I wonder though if weight loss will have any effect on mental state...

I haven't noticed any change in my dream state as a result of surgery.

But on the other hand: As you lose weight, the chemicals and hormones that were stored in your fat cells are being released into your body. These will pass through your kidneys and are expelled in your urine or through your sweat glans. But they can generate a flush of hormones during the weight loss phase. They should simmer down once you transition into maintenance. It is important to meet your daily Fluid requirements, because it take fluids to flush these hormones from your system.

I had a dream my dead mother in law was in surgery when I was being anesthetized..

I asked her..."Are you doing my surgery?"

And she goes..."No, I am not. I'm dead, and I am a veterinarian."

Which was certainly true.

Was nice to see her, even if it was a whacko dream. LOL:)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
