Trouble Sleeping since Lap RNY

I had my Lap RNY surgery on July 19 and have already lost 22 pounds, but I am having trouble sleeping all night.  It seems I am up every 2 hours or so.  I have been walking in the A.M. and don't feel too tired during the day, but this not sleeping is not fun.  I had trouble sleeping now and then befoe my surgery, so this is not that new to me, but it gets frustrating none the less.

I had open on the 24th but I slept maybe 5 hours in the hospital total.  My last night they gave me Ambein and that saved my life.  They sent me home with 7 pills so I'm using them up.  I still wake up at 2am or so to go pee and then I have to talk myself back to sleep.  Then I sleep until about 6am or so, on a good day.  I used to sleep all the time so I'm trying to just go with the flow, of course I'm still on this Ambien so we'll see when they run out. 

I started taking my sleeping pills also.  I took trazadone and that worked ok. I exercise (walk) in the morning and I have been feeling great.   Who did your surgery?  Mine was by Monson in Fargo.  I feel great. Good luck to you. Leah

Dr. Howell did my surgery.  I had to have my Nissen taken down also so Dr. Monson couldn't do it and referred me to Dr. Howell.  Surgically I am doing fantastic but body aches...not as good.  It is still so hard to get in and out of bed and find a comfortable position.  We don't have a good recliner so thats out.  Plus when I lay on my side it feels like my inerds are movin around...kinda creepy!  Each day does get better though and if I can make those trepuree dishes taste good then I guess I can do anything...lol

When I layed on my  side in bed it would beel as though my  were moving around also.  It does get better each day. Leah
