Benedryl makes me drowsy enough to sleep. I was hospitalized years ago with some bizarre rare syndrome. I hadn't slept in days and they were afraid to medicate me because I could stop breathing. They gave me Benedryl' date=' which just makes you drowsy enough to dose off. Afterwards Benedryl helped me get rest whenever I had trying times and couldn't sleep.[/quote']

All the Benadryl that Walgreens had in liquid was flavored for children and I didn't want to risk the sugar content. I got the melt away melatonin instead. I came home early but did not nap- really hoping that with the melatonin and only 2 hours sleep last night that I can sleep.

The melatonin let me fall asleep. I did toss and turn a lot the past few hours but overall a much better night than the one before.

How was your day today? Did you last all day? I hope you're feeling well.

Since my boss is being so great (he loves me anyway) I'm working just till early afternoon this week so I don't overdo it. I don't think I could have stayed any longer than I did today anyway. I left at 1. I was so tired and having some pain in my butt from sitting so long- starting in the hospital from laying in the bed my butt was sore and then went numb. So the work chair was bothering me pretty bad- guess I need to buy a cushion- it never bothered me before. I didn't nap when I got home though I was exhausted- the heat outside isn't helping that. I was afraid if I napped I'd have trouble sleeping again tonight.

I took a shower when I got home and removed my steri strips. Then I laid down and watched a movie. My sister brought me a cup of sonic ice which made me very happy. I'm not getting enough fluids yet- I'm still eating on these. I know I'll sleep good tonight. I'm so relieved I don't have to work all day this week. Thursday afternoon I have my follow up with surgeon.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
