Hi everyone. Do any of you post opers take anything to help you sleep? I'm thinking of zzzquil or something. Lately I am having a hard time going to sleep.

Nurses told me to use dissolvable melatonin. It's worked for me the few times I've needed it. I think zzzquil would be an ok choice too.

melatonin is a good choice to help you relax so you can rest. tylenol pm which is just a combination of benadryl and tylenol works as well doctor even told my pregnant daughter it was ok to take it. me had insomnia since last child was born so i have been taking ambien 10mg for the last 3 years it helps me sleep atleast 5 hours a night. I was hoping and still hoping that the more weight I lose that I will be able to sleep without aids.

I have a hard time sleeping too, I take a mixture of things that work best for me. I take 20 mg of chewable melatonin @ 8pm, then at 10 pm I take a dose of Skull Cap (herbal relaxer) or liquid melatonin. I bought the Nyquil zzzquil but that did nothing for me. What ever you get just make sure it is liquid or chewable or sublingual because the pill form of anything seems to not work for me meaning not being absorbed since surgery. Also on the evenings I do about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes of yoga I sleep like a baby !!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
