I am pretty sure this is going to sound weird but I have to ask. The past few nights I wake up after about three hours sleep and I am wide awake. Once I wake up I can't seem to fall back asleep because my arms feel weak. For some reason I have to roll my wrists every minute or so. I know it sounds crazy but it won't let me fall back to sleep. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

I'm waking up about every 4 hours or so. My problem is my back hurts from the constant pressure of not being able to turn on my side while sleeping. So I have to get up and move around some and by that time I'm awake. I wonder how many days post op we feel ok enough to sleep on our side?

It took me about 4-5 days. And when i did go on my side i'd prop/support my belly with a small pillow so gravity didn't pull it down.

When were you sleeved? Remember, during surgery they strap down your arms and wrists so they could be a bit sore. And weird sleep patterns are pretty similar after surgery. Try melatonin or call your doc for sleeping pills.

I was sleeved on nov 6th. So I am one week 2 days out. I do feel a slight weakness in my arms during the day too. But it is bad at night. Keeps me awake. Last night I finally took some pain meds and some melatonin and was finally able to fall asleep.
