    Default This sucks! Anyone had insomnia after surgery?

    I can't sleep and it's driving me mad! I was wide awake until 6.45am this morning, it was 5am the morning before! My mood is shot today. Feeling miserable, tired and cranky. Anyone else suffer this? X

    I am having the opposite issue. I went to bed last night around 830!!!! got up at 7 with my alarm this morning and planning a nap in about an hour when the baby does. Now in between sleeping I have tons of energy but I seem to bottom out in a second flat and nothing will keep me awake! Good luck I hope you body does a rest soon and lets you sleep

    Yup, insomnia was (is) an issue for me thought it has improved. I used to kind of eat myself into a coma before surgery and obviously that was no longer an option. It gets better but I also got some melatonin to help.

    Yes, sleep was definitely and issue the first week and a half after surgery. Didn't help that I had hives from an allergic reaction so I was up scratching half the night. My doc prescribed me a sleeping pill and it has helped tremendously. I had to take 2 the first 2 nights because I woke up an hour after taking one and it was supposed to knock me out for 7 - 8 hours! (And I've never taken a sleeping pill before in my life!) I've been able to just take 1 the last few nights and can get about 7 1/2 hours without waking up. Going to try to sleep without it tonight. But boy did getting a few nights of solid sleep make a difference in my energy level and mood! Made me feel like a new person.
    Good luck!

    One of the things my doctor mentioned to me (and warned my husband) was that many people have pretty wild hormonal swings after the sleeve. They aren't sure why but this would play havoc with sleep cycles.
