Anyone having trouble sleeping? I have been cat napping 15-20 minutes at a time and its wearing me out!

No trouble sleeping, actually sleeping at least 4 hours at a time, and wearing my cpap machine.

The only reason I sleep at night is because I do not sleep during the day and I am always doing something during the day to keep both my body and my mind occupied. So when I go to bed I am exhausted.😴

Not cat napping, but not able to sleep much. I'm yawning and ready for bed at 10 pm, but when I actually lie down and get comfortable it's just tossing and turning for at least an hour, then awake at 5 am. I think tonight I'm going to try having a warm shower before I get into bed and maybe some chamomile tea around 9 instead of Water.

I'm 2 weeks post op today and last night was the first full night's sleep. I remember at the beginning how uncomfortable it was and i needed to nap in the day because of the lack of sleep at night.
What i found helpful was putting a pillow under my knees when i was laying on my back...it took the strain and stretched feeling away from my stomach. I had another pillow i hugged when i tried to lay on my side...another way to take the weight off my stomach. It really helped

Before the sleeve I was only able to sleep 4 hours. Then I found this supplement at Earth Fare supermarket for around 19.00 and it worked for me. Took about 4 days for it to kick in. But I took it just before bedtime and it seems to straighten my system out. I hope this will work for you also.

Ok so I just found this thread and I am going to jump on this I Am a Sept 24th bypass buddy. I would love to have someone to talk to who knows what I am going through. I had my surgery at St Josephs hospital in Syracuse NY. My surgeon was Dr Graber.

I am at the doctors office right now. I am having some type of allergic reaction. The itching is driving me crazy and around my incisions are all swollen and red and I have a rash on belly. I don’t have a fever and no pain. Just insane itching!!!

While I do know itching is a sign of healing for an incision the rash is concerning. Hopefully you will find out why or what is causing the rash today.

Hello everyone,

I had my bypass on Sept 24th and I had a doctor follow up this week and he stated I can start eggs. So this next morning, Wednesday I had 1 scrambled egg and I couldn't finish because I started having this feeling like it was stuck in my chest, not tightening of my chest but stuck. I walked around for a few mins then drank some Water after 30 mins same feeling with water. It been happening with everything except for popsicles. So I have not been consuming too much because of the feeling. Anyone experiencing this?

I am darker but mine look about the same. the incision is fine with some darkness around them. They are itchy but not horribly itchy.
