Hi all, I'm about 2 weeks post op and can't sleep. It take hours to fall asleep and I wake up constantly. Is this normal?? I'm averaging 4 hrs sleep daily.

Haven't been through it yet myself but have seen several threads about the same thing lately and so it does seem normal.

I did that too until I got a prescription for Trazadone 150 mg. Has made a huge difference - Sleep like a fat little babe !

Careful with the trazodone! One of its major side effects is weight gain:(

I was on Trazadone before the WLS and it made me gain a lot of weight.

You could be experiencing anxiety? Check with your doc. There are lots of meds for it that don't make you gain weight.

Happened to me as well and didn’t get better until about a month post Op.Low calories and stress to the body can cause insomnia. I’d try a higher dose of melatonin.
