facebro29 272 Posted March 27, 2017 Hi Guys,I am 6 months out from surgery and my sleeping pattern is awful!! I was sleeping so good but now I can't get to sleep or stay asleep. I'm constantly tired and don't know what to do. Has anyone else experienced this at this stage? I've tried melatonin, even sleeping tablets but I don't seem to sleep well. Is this a hormonal thing? Help!! 1 CocoNina reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gryffen 176 Posted March 27, 2017 Check your B12 levels. Everyone who has sleeve or bypass surgery in Scotland is automatically put onto b12 injections every 3 months. I have. Pernicious anemia to begin with and a symptom that tells me I'm running low is a bloody awful bout of insomnia.Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gryffen 176 Posted March 28, 2017 Are they giving you the injections - well worth them as you do feel incredibly better within 24hrs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
