1 Week Post Op

So I had my Open RNY on December 5th at Rapid City with Dr. Sufficool. The first thing I aske the nurse when I woke up is why did I do this to myself. I thought that I was mentally prepared, but in reality, I wasn't. I had no clue what I was in for. Today, I am feeling great. Not eating anything but sugar free popcicles and crystal light, but the Dr. said not to force it...so I am not. I have had problems sleeping the past couple of nights. Has anybody else? I even spent the whole day running around yesterday and skipped my nap and I still couldn't sleep good last night. I sure hope that it gets better!

It WILL get better!! I had an AWFUL time sleeping right away. I got a prescription.

I've always had problems with sleeping, but have actually gotten better since surgery...although initially it wasn't like that. It gets better. I hope you are feeling better - why did you question your decision? Pain? Fear? just wondering...and hoping you aren't still regretting it. LOL; wishing you the very best...I'll keep you in my prayers. Don't forget to check the Dec 06 forum so you can visit with others who had surgery about the same time as you.
