I’m pre-op so my opinion might not be worth much. Are you getting all of your liquids? I have noticed on days when I do not drink enough Water my mind races at night, I can’t get to sleep and when I finally do it is very late and I wake up in the middle of the night feeling wide awake but unrested.

I am 11 weeks out from VSG and I am having the same problem. I wake up between 2:30 and 4:00 and sometimes never fall back asleep before my alarm goes off at 5:45. It's awful! I wish I could give you some tips but I'm still trying to figure it out myself! Good luck!

I take unisom or zquil because I haveeeeeee to sleep! I was staying up all night sleep like 4-5 hors during the day and then up til the next morning-rinse and repeat. I think being off of wirk contributed. Now that i went back i come home tired so its easier to sleep at night.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
