can't sleep

I am 2 weeks post-op and having alot of difficulty sleeping through the night. I wake up several times and can't get back to sleep. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I had a problem sleeping for about 3 weeks, I did find I slept better sitting up in stead of laying flat. I hope you are able to get some sleep soon.

Yes, oh yes... I had trouble sleeping as well. It didn't seem to be from discomfort and I'm really not sure what it's from. Z (my partner) said I'm losing weight so fast, even when I'm trying to sleep and so it's keeping me awake. LOL The insomnia lasted for a few weeks to a couple of months for me. I still tend to wake up at least once during the night to pee but then I go right back to sleep. If you are still off work, take advantage of the daytime and rest. Just remember, your body and your mind have been through a lot and it's understandable to have that disrupt your sleep patterns. It will get better.

I woke up bunches of times at night but had no trouble going back to sleep. I was exhausted all the time. I had a harder time sleeping after my gall bladder surgery for some reason. The WLS was open and the GB was lap. Go figure.
