Ok, last night I was finishing up my post-op shopping, and looked at gum. Hmmmmm, that would be nice in a dry post-op mouth, but no, don't want to risk swallowing it because I do swallow gum and I hear that is a potentially life threatening problem. Pass. Well, last night I dreamt that I swallowed gum after my wls and I realized it right when I did it. I was trying to reverse the swallow with coughs, no good, too far down. I could feel it going down and I was nervously waiting to feel the blockage occur. Very freaky. I am not going to chew gum, ever! LOL Anyone else dreaming of post-op life?

I'm a big gum chewer i didnt know that about gum after surgery. GOOD TO KNOW.I dream of my biggest fear, my dreams are about surgery, that i can't wake up.I see everyone in my hospital room but no matter how hard i try i can't wake up. I hate dreams like that. . I hope to have possitive dreams soon . And if you always swallow your gum, yea its a good idea not to chew it again.lol ALMA

Nona~ I dreamed that I was on the table in the surgery room when a Dr. came in and began cutting me near my thigh. I said, "I can feel that" and he replied "Does it hurt or can you just feel it"? Then I said, "no it doesn't hurt, I can just feel it". He said, "Okay then" and continued cutting me. THEN he said "You know, you really should consider gastric bypass surgery"!!! I screamed "THAT IS WHAT I AM HERE FOR"!!!!!!!!! He then excused himself, ran out of the operating room and a team of dr.'s and nurses came running in and then, with a halo of light around him, my surgeon appears and says, "Don't worry Rachel, I will take care of everything ". Next thing I know I am waking up to a nurse telling me to look in the mirror. I do and I have stitches all over me and I am already thin! The nurse says "Dr. ..... felt so bad about the mix up that he went ahead and did your plastic surgery for you at the same time as your bypass surgery! WHEW, was I ever glad to wake up from that dream! I cannot wait to tell my surgeon about it when I go in for surgery next Wednesday. Don't think that I am not going to clarify with everyone exactly what surgery that I am there for!!! God Bless, Rachel
