Melatonin to sleep

Hi!!! I've been having trouble to sleep since I got my sleeve feb 16th. I want to take melatonin 10 mg so I can get back on schedule on my sleeping. Has anyone else taken this before? I don't know if we can or not?

I have taken it on occassion and was fine, but as with most things, consult your surgeon or PCP.

I have taken it many times. It helped me overcome the effects of a 3rd shift job and jet lag.

It will give you vivid dreams, some folks can't dig that, I just go along with the ride. There is sublingual melatonin that will not hurt tummy.

I've been taking melatonin as needed for a few years. Ever since my lap band I've had insomnia. Early on I think it was from the weight loss and now more from the discomfort that comes with the complications, but I usually take it a couple times a week and I use the sublingual. Dissolves quickly and mine is strawberry flavored (I found it at Walmart).

My revision isn't until May, but I asked about whether I could use it after surgery still and was told that after the first two weeks it would be perfectly fine, but I would definitely check with your surgeon to be safe!! They all have different plans and you should stick with your docs! :)

I'll try to just go along with the ride as well. Wow sublingual melatonin didn't see any there but I'd live that better that the pill. Where did u buy yours?

I know for a fact that you can get the sublingual tabs at Walmart. Comes in a purple bottle if I remember correctly. :)

They do! The brand is Natrol and they are called "fast dissolve" on the pretty purple bottle ;) I have found the fast dissolve in 3 and 10mg tabs at my local Walmart!
