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!🐵🙈🙉🙊

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
