Sleeping Problems Post Op?

[Nurse Jen 45]

Had my surgery on 9/25/12. I haven't returned to work yet and that may be why my sleep schedule is off. Has anyone else had trouble sleeping post gastric bypass? I can't get to sleep until well after 3am every night now. Thoughts appreciated.

Dear Jen, I to had my surgery the 25 th of sept. My sleep at first was difficult due to the inability to be on my sides( my preferred positions). Then I found I slept during the day because the pain meds made me sleepy. Now I am not taking them much or at all during the day but I still nap, then I am up all night reading. I need to get back to work to get my body back in its regular cycle.
