Weird question following fill

I had my fill on Tuesday evening and it's Friday afternoon and until 2 hours ago in which I had my first nap I havne't batted an eye for sleep. None at night, no naps, nothing. I've took tylenol pm's, at 9 lastnight only to have to take simply sleep at 3:30 am this morning and still no sleep. I called Dr. Curry and they don't think it has anything to do with the band, I didn't think so either but I've NEVER had this before and Never until after my fill. Weird I know. Still NO caffiene, what am I going to do. I feel like crap and I do have a life I need to live. Now mind you, I only got 1.5 fill instead of 2 and he said I could come back in 2 weeks for more which I'll have to do because I have very little restriction but this sleep thing is unreal. I've felt fabulous since the feel other than each day the tiring from no sleep.

Please, anyone, any help.

I don't know why, but I haven't had a good nights sleep since I was banded in March. I've tried Tylenol PM, warm milk, melatonin, even Ambien. I get between 2 to 4 hours sleep most nights, some nights none at all. It's really getting to me. So, whether it has anything to do with the band or not, if you get a good solution, pass it on.

Personally, I don't think your fill could be causing the insomnia. Do you have some extra stress going on that you just haven't realized? I hope things calm down for you soon before you run yourself ragged! I see a baby in your photo...is that little cutie keeping you up??

I have only been banded for about 10 days but i too am not getting much sleep without ambien. And even then, I am up every couple hours. I so far am just attributing it to the fact that I am still off work. (not because of medical necessity, just because I had 3 weeks to burn) I feel like I'm just getting anxious. But after listening to you guys, I'm wondering if it is the band. We will see, I go back to work August 18th and it is back to bieng away from home for 16 hours a day. If I don't get tired, then I KNOW it will be the band.
