I did the same thing. I came prepared with ear plugs and I put them in as soon as I was able to -- I wasn't bothered at all when the nurses came in all night to take my vitals -- they just did their thing and I only barely woke up. Plus I had the bed right by the air-conditioner.

I had a roommate the first night too, but it didn't bother me until the next day when we were both awake (she had a lap RNY, mine was an open). The problem there wasn't my roomy, but all the extra people, the nurses and visitors, drove me bonkers.

I brought my iPod, it covered my ears and I tuned them out with my favorite tunes.

I don't want to know how much I have left to lose -- I find it encouraging to see how far I've come!
