Anyone else have trouble sleeping after surgery? I wake up multiple times per night but am constantly tired. Has anyone tried melatonin?

I was taking melotonin regularly before surgery and surgeon gave no indication not to take it post-op

I started having this problem at almost my 3 month mark as well as the Hair loss. I thought it was to be expected but found out from my primary care that my thyroid panels were out of whack. The primary care isn't pushing doing anything at this point as far as medication. cause the gland is enlarged and both him & surgeon seem to agree this will correct its self in time.... But until something gives I only average about 3 to 3 1/2 hrs sleep a day .. I take 3mg melatonin & that's the best I'm getting ... Hope this soon corrects its self or something

I am having trouble sleeping too. I have my 3 month blood work in the next couple of weeks so I am curious to see if my thyroid might be out of whack too.

      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?
