Anyone struggling with Insomnia



Recommended Posts

I'm 15 days post lapband revision to sleeve. I'm not in any more pain so I'm not on any pain medication. However, I cannot sleep at night. I already take a sleeping pill and anxiety pill but nothing is helping. Anyone else experiencing this? Suggestions?

Yes I dealt with the sleeplessness post op for a couple of months. I really didn't get back to normal until I started eating more normal, and working again. Even now (sleeved 9/11) I still have nights of not sleeping. Give it time and try to burn off more energy (if possible) during the afternoon.

I am too. It doesn't matter what I take, I can not fall asleep. If I do its for maybe an hour then I wake up again and it goes on like that all night. It's awful!!

I CANNOT stand this. It's making me so moody and I'm so tired. I am only 2 weeks post op (from a really difficult surgery) Things are still a little tender and I have to take it easy. Walking is my only option but I live in Wisconsin and its been like 5 degrees the past two days. I did go to the gym and walk about 20 minutes on the treadmill but then I was wiped..... Would have thought I could have slept, but no.

I'm 9 days post op so I definitely still have some moments of tenderness. I might bring this up to my surgeon when I see him next week. You would think walking would help!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
