Hi Guys,

I am 6 months out from surgery and my sleeping pattern is awful!! I was sleeping so good but now I can't get to sleep or stay asleep. I'm constantly tired and don't know what to do. Has anyone else experienced this at this stage? I've tried melatonin, even sleeping tablets but I don't seem to sleep well. Is this a hormonal thing? Help!!

Check your b12 levels. Everyone who has sleeve or bypass surgery in Scotland is automatically put onto b12 injections every 3 months. I have. Pernicious anemia to begin with and a symptom that tells me I'm running low is a bloody awful bout of insomnia.

Hope that helps.

Thank you!! Just had my blood tests done will call the surgery to see if the results are in.

Thanks for the advice. Just got my blood tests back and my B12 is low.

Are they giving you the injections - well worth them as you do feel incredibly better within 24hrs.

Have a sleep study done. You may have apnea

Had that done. It's not sleep apnea
