Be honest! Who's having bad dreams now?

Hi gals and guys, I've been spooked by some bad dreams What's happening? Has anyone else had that problem? Luann 9 more sleeps until surgery

i'll be honest. the closer i get to surgery the more bad dreams i am having. i am afraid that i am going to die and leave my two young girls behind. my father already lost my mother to this surgery and i haven't told him that i am having this surgery. i can't bare to put him through the pain of knowing i am going through this. i will tell him but not until after the surgery. i have a very good friend going with me that had instructions to make phone calls if things get going the wrong way, and i wrote a good bye letter. i just can't wait until it is over with. i am a nervous wreck at times.

I have the same problem bad dreams and bad day dreams. Mom keeps saying Im going to be ok but im I also wrote a good bye letter it was so hard. Cindy

I'm not having bad dreams but I am crying a lot. My surgery date got moved from the 19th to the first so everything has speeded up. But, every hour or so Robin6daysandcounting

I had a goofy dream last night that I got a package in the mail. It was gifted wrapped and inside a a crumpled up letter from the doctor's office, saying they were sorry but I couldn't have surgery on the 3rd that I had to wait till the 5th and I had to have a different surgeon . I was so glad when I woke up and it was only a dream. It looks like we are having surgery on the same day. Good luck. I know things will go well for you. Vicki

Luann, I think you post made me have a bad dream! Its all your fault! lol... just kidding... My dream: I had a dream that I got on the scale and I weighed 135 (5 pounds below my goal ) but when I looked in the mirror at my self, I was in my bathing suit, and my skin was SO SAGGY!!!! AHHHH I lifted my arms and the skin almost hit the floor... My legs, lets not get started on those! It was so scary... more than likely, a little crazy too! I have now spent the morning trying to find ways to avoid saggy skin.... looks like to most people it come down to a combo of genetics, age and excercise... Lets cross our fingers! All the best!

Dreams? Hell, I haven't had what I would call a good nights sleep in over a week! I'm waking up early and can't get back to sleep. I know I'm having bad dreams, but I don't remember what they are. But then, I have some other stresses in addition to the surgery that may be contributing factors. I'm working from home this week and taking care of the kids at the same time while the wife is on a business trip. There are some major BS issues going on at the office, the wife starts a new job the day after my WLS, my oldest starts Kindergarten in 3 weeks and my in-laws are both very ill. No stress... no stress... no stress... In some ways, the WLS will be a vacation! Oh well, as Scarlett O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day." Ken

LOL I am with you on that one Ken!!! My surgery is scheduled for Aug 19th, the kids start school on Sept 1st, my Mom arrives from AZ on Sept 2nd, my husband starts teaching again sometime mid Sept...and, I just found the house of my dreams and our bid was accepted last week!!! I have had serious thoughts of putting off surgery. But, then again, it might be great to move and not be able to lift a thing...just have lots of help?!!? ~~heavy sigh~~ Keep smiling!! Donna

You sound like me. My surgery is August 24. I have my dream house under contract and I have my home on the market. Our closing is Sept 24 contingent on selling my house. I start a new job September 21. All the while I worry about what if something happens to me. What are my husband and kids going to do? Am I being selfish? Stress, stress, stress, stress, stress.

Oh, that selfish thing is a biggie!!!! I know in my logical mind that I never really do anything for myself...right down to taking care of myself. But, my heart just aches sometimes when I think of all that could go wrong with this surgery. But, then my friend, also a Karen, reminds me that she does something everyday for herself...it is simple, costs nothing, takes no time away from her kids because she does it before they wake up, and she could be killed easily. She rides a bike 10 miles every morning on Long Island!!! That kind of put it all in perspective for me. Not that I don't still have that mother's guilt~~~LOL Good Luck to you with your house, your new house and your surgery!! All will go well!! Donna
