This is probably going to sound crazy but..... Since I was banded I've had stupid, vivid dreams every night. I wake up exhausted every morning. Is this something anyone else has experienced or am I just a nut case? : ) Thanks!:thumbup:

I have had this problem for 13 years now. Nothing to do with the band for me. You probably have some unresolved issue that manifests itself in your sleep. I take Trazadone for this and it helps immensley. Also, now that I exercise regularly and I am physically exhausted when my head hits the pillow it has decreased some.

I sure hope it gets better for you because it really sucks.

that's really wierd because since being banded so have I. Last night I had a strange one that my 14 yr old daughter called me @ work (been layed off for a year now) and told me she was in a town 45 miles away, that she ditched her field trip @ school and went shopping and spent her entire paycheck (she's 14!) and that I have to come get her and she was crying?????????????????? Every night I have been waking up about 5am or earlier with theese strange dreams and yes they are very life like and often involve people I have not seen in years??????? Anyone else?:thumbup:

I am 4-1/2 weeks post op, but I have been off the meds since week 1

I do have an anciness that leads to a lot of werid dreams. I think mostly because of my new life changes and physical changes. Also probably because I am not always going to bed with a big full gut or in a sugar comma like in my pre land-band life... Just thinking.

Best of luck to you!
