    I need sleep!

    Crazy Janey - your estrogen theory may be something! I rarely have a period, maybe once every 5-6 months, lasts only 1 day and very, very light. The first night I couldn't sleep happened to be the day I started my period! I even commented to my friend that I was bleeding like I did as a teenager - sorry TMI. I go for my 1 week post-op tomorrow so I will inquire for all us non-sleeping estrogen ridden sleevers!! Thanks for all your comments

    I need sleep!

    Had band to sleeve done last Thur, mar 20. Slept great in the hospital and the first night home - last 2 nights have been sleeping about 4 hours but tossing and waking up. I am not sleeping during the day. Anyone experience this or know a reason why?
  4. Thanks so much for the reassurance. I'm having my surgery at Forest Park Medical Center, my surgeon is Dr Roye (Waxahachie).
  5. First time poster. Like others, I'm starting to get a little nervous. I assumed the recovery would be like the lap band I had 7 yrs ago - home the same day. I found out last week that I might have to stay 2 nights. Besides having my son, I've never stayed overnight in a hospital. This whole surgery has been brought on quickly and I haven't had the luxury to do a lot of pros/cons. They are pretty sure I have Crohn's and further testing found 6 ulcers in my esophagus so my Lap Band dr said it has to come out now. He consulted with my gastroentologist, sent it off to my insurance and received approval in about 10 days! Reading everyone's stories has helped some! Monica
