Dreams--is it just me?



Recommended Posts

For the past three nights, I've been dreaming about going into surgery for the lapband. They weren't nightmares but more anxiety dreams. I haven't even gotten the surgery approved by my insurance carrier yet...just turned in all my paperwork less than a week ago.

Does anyone else have these dreams? I think I'm already getting obsessed with the surgery! I know that I'm incredibly anxious to get things started. I want it SO bad!

O yes. Right after I went to the seminar, and started doing more research, I must have had lapband surgery 3 times a night! Now I only have it once a week. Guess that's improvement. Maybe our minds are just trying to make sense of it all.

I honestly don't remember having them over my band. Rightnow I am waiting to hear from insurance on a TT---and I dreamed they told me I had to make arrangements for the disposal of the skin and fat they remove!!! They brought it to me in a zip lock marked Hazardous Waste!!!!

If I could just get the approval----I'll dispose of it even!!!!

That's hilarious and disgusting at the same time! That said, I, too, would be willing to dispose of my fat & skin in zip lock bags if I get approved!!!

YES!

I must be more nervous about it than I think because something always goes wrong (weird, weird stuff) in my dreams.....but yes, probably two or three a week!

Kat you're a scream! I do work in the medical field, maybe I could scrounge up some haz mat bags.

I dream about lap band almost every night. Either preparing for the surgery, going to the surgery or of loosing the weight after the surgery. My mind has never taken me into the actual surgery, thank goodness. That would freak me out. Last night I dreamed that I went into the surgery and when I woke up they had not put the band on me.

      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?
