Weird Question



Recommended Posts

Hi ALL -

I have a weird question. Has anyone had trouble sleeping since they had the band put in? I have been having so many bizarre dreams since the band - these dreams keep waking me up. They are all different and it is not a re-occurrung dream about the band or anything. I was always a dreamer - but it never bothered my REM sleep. I have been so tired lately and I know I am getting the proper nutrition and rest so what's up?? The only pattern that I see is this all started after I had my surergy (which was on April 29th).

Anyone else have this issue?

:tongue:

I've also had problems sleeping I use to take ambien last summer and since the band my doctor has put me back on it. However last summer I would take it for like two or three nights and be back on a sleep schedule but so far that hasn't happened yet. I've already taken 10+ since I got the perscription in mid June and last summer I would have 10 for four months. As for dreams I've always has weird ones but I remember them more often than I use to. I hope this helps and I happy to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this.

OMG!!! I am experiencing the exact same thing. It's not that I can't find a comfortable place, I mean a little because I use to sleep on my belly but what keeps on waking me up is the dreams. They are crazy type of dreams, I thought it might be the vicodin. I have also always been a dreamer but nothing like what I have been experiencing lately.

By the way I was banded on August 16, and doing great. Feeling beeter each day.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
