Ever since I started the pre-op diet 12-13, I have been having issues trying to get to sleep. I was sleeved on 12-27 and about 50% of the time my body jerks myself awake just as I'm starting to doze. I have never had this problem before. . Anyone else.

Yes I did!! I never had anxiety either until after I was sleeved on Dec 9, 2016. I took an rx from the doctor for one week that helped me relax and sleep and then after a week my body went back to a natural sleep rhythm!! Talk to your doc and good luck!!

Yes I had the problem when I came home. I had to get up every hour for the first 24 hours after surgery. After that I would doze asleep and then I would jump out for no reason. Then the slightest sound I heard would wake me up as soon as I doze off now I am just up all night lone watching LMN

Are you on any kind of pain medication?

No, I am not on any pain meds. I was lucky to get off those within the first week Now that I am back to work, it is not as bad, but happens occasionally. Spoke with the Dr at post op, and she had never heard any other patients complain about this It could definitely be my thyroid, but I don't have any other symptoms that would prove to be that. I have been on thyroid meds for 17 years and never had that... normally it's the palpitations that I get first. Thank you all for the ideas... I just now got the notifications.

Do you take thyroid medication? You may need the dosage decreased.


You were soooo right had my dose cut in half. Crazy since I was told they w ere holding off until my 3 mth for that.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
