sleeping

 My name is Tanya and I had my Gastric Bypass surgey 10/10/11. I'm having problems sleeping now. I wake up around 3am and toss and turn til around 4am and then I get up. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem after surgery and what did you do. Thank you :)

Hi Tanya,

How bizarre that over a year later, your message here became visible to me and that it needed to be approved.  I am dumbfounded as to how this happened and apologize for the delay.  Are you still struggling with sleeping?  Please post an update. 

I have had bouts of not being able to sleep and noticed that some of the things I need to do is no****ch TV so late into the night or in bed (I no longer have a TV in the bedroom), I don't look at any electronics like my iPhone as apparently that winds up the brain.  Drinking some SleepyTime type of tea just might help.  If nothing else making a nighttime ritual of slowing sipping tea might ease your brain a bit.
