Beginning to lose sleep at night.

My surgery isn't for another month, and for some reason I'm beginning to lose sleep at night. I'm not too nervous at all, as VSG is all I have thought about every single day since June when I began my research. I begin my 4 week pre op diet (Loser's Bench Boot Camp) 1 week from today. I don't know if nerves are beginning to set in, or anxiousness to get the surgery itself behind me, or possibly other factors. My family doctor not too long ago gave me Chantix to ensure I do not touch any nicotine product whatsoever and jeopardize my surgery. I am thinking it may be the Chantix screwing with my sleep. Regardless, I know my date is in 5 weeks, and I know how time flies. I am so looking forward to the loser's bench.

Hi Sammy. The Chantix site does say something about sleep https://www.chantix.com/safety-information-side-effects.aspx 

Hey Sammy! I have heard Chantix can disturb sleep and even cause weird dreams. It is probably that, and a combination of natural ol nervousness too! Everything will be great! You are almost there :) 

Haven't really noticed the weird dreams, other than one where I woke up in the recovery room after my surgery to a marching band playing Rage Against the Machine....lol. Only thing really is the hours of sleep dwindling and how tired I am waking up. I think I only had one instance I was irritable (from Chantix) but no other episodes. I will say I have had ZERO desire for any nicotine in any form.

I certainly can't wait to get this behind me, it can't come soon enough.

I went through the same thing.  I know I wasn't sleeping cause I was thinking, thinking, and more thinking while lying there.  It definitely wasn't nerves.  Just excitement and thinking about how much I was ready for the change and just wishing my time for surgery would just get here already.  I ended up kicking my pre-surgery walking and exercise into overdrive so that I could try to expend more energy.  Congrats on the choice to have this surgery.  :)
