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.?

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

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

I still don't sleep well,wonder if I ever will?

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.

Welcome to the group!!

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!!!

Here is a pic of three of my incisions

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.

Almost all of my scabs have come off and left behind nice clear closed spots
