Hi everyone. Do any of you post opers take anything to help you sleep? I'm thinking of zzzquil or something. Lately I am having a hard time going to sleep.

Nurses told me to use dissolvable melatonin. It's worked for me the few times I've needed it. I think zzzquil would be an ok choice too.

melatonin is a good choice to help you relax so you can rest. tylenol pm which is just a combination of benadryl and tylenol works as well doctor even told my pregnant daughter it was ok to take it. me had insomnia since last child was born so i have been taking ambien 10mg for the last 3 years it helps me sleep atleast 5 hours a night. I was hoping and still hoping that the more weight I lose that I will be able to sleep without aids.

I have a hard time sleeping too, I take a mixture of things that work best for me. I take 20 mg of chewable melatonin @ 8pm, then at 10 pm I take a dose of Skull Cap (herbal relaxer) or liquid melatonin. I bought the Nyquil zzzquil but that did nothing for me. What ever you get just make sure it is liquid or chewable or sublingual because the pill form of anything seems to not work for me meaning not being absorbed since surgery. Also on the evenings I do about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes of yoga I sleep like a baby !!!

      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.
