trouble sleeping - the great menopause or the band??

Hope everyone is having a great holiday! Mine has been hectic and I now understand what "having your stomach in knots"
means since having been banded. My question, tho is this... Does having the band sometimes cause sleeping problems? if so, why? I sometimes go through a few days or a week with lots of waking up in the night, but then it seems to go away, and I sleep well again. This was also pre-band (surgery was august 15th, 2008) but I have been finding that the sleeping problem seems increased post band and I wondered if that had anything to do with it. I remember my fill doc asking about my sleeping but I didn't connect anything and now I'm wondering if its significant to the band or not. As for menopause, I haven't had a period in about 4 1/2 years. :tongue2: Soooo what do you think? It sure makes for long nights when you wake up a lot!!
