amandac82 0 Posted September 12, 2010 Hey everyone! I was banded on the 27th and no lie... ever since I got the band I wake up in the middle of the night so thirsty. I have to keep a bottled Water on my night stand. And it's just not once I am waking up. It's usually 3-4 times a night. I am drinking my required about during the day so I don't know what the problem is. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rcain03@hotmail.com 1 Posted September 12, 2010 Have you checked your blood sugar? Excessive thirst could be an indication of diabetes. Or maybe you are just really thirsty! =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illuminationlady 7 Posted September 12, 2010 Are you still on pain meds? They can make you very thirsty. Just a thought...best wishes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravey 0 Posted September 12, 2010 I experienced exactly the same thing right after surgery - an incredible crawling-across-the-desert-only-to-find-it-was-a-mirage thirst. It stopped abruptly when I stopped taking the prescription pain medications. Hope it's the same for you. All the very best on your journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
