This is probably going to sound crazy but..... Since I was banded I've had stupid, vivid dreams every night. I wake up exhausted every morning. Is this something anyone else has experienced or am I just a nut case? : ) Thanks!:thumbup:

I have had this problem for 13 years now. Nothing to do with the band for me. You probably have some unresolved issue that manifests itself in your sleep. I take Trazadone for this and it helps immensley. Also, now that I exercise regularly and I am physically exhausted when my head hits the pillow it has decreased some.

I sure hope it gets better for you because it really sucks.

that's really wierd because since being banded so have I. Last night I had a strange one that my 14 yr old daughter called me @ work (been layed off for a year now) and told me she was in a town 45 miles away, that she ditched her field trip @ school and went shopping and spent her entire paycheck (she's 14!) and that I have to come get her and she was crying?????????????????? Every night I have been waking up about 5am or earlier with theese strange dreams and yes they are very life like and often involve people I have not seen in years??????? Anyone else?:thumbup:

I do have an anciness that leads to a lot of werid dreams. I think mostly because of my new life changes and physical changes. Also probably because I am not always going to bed with a big full gut or in a sugar comma like in my pre land-band life... Just thinking.

Best of luck to you!

      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?
