I am on BP med not for high BP but irregular heart rate maybe that is causing it. I have an appointment with a cardioligist on Monday I will see.

I was sleeved 4/6/11 and I am very tired all the time and don't feel good. I am drinking my Water and taking a multi Vitamin and vitamin B-12 under my tongue daily. I am losing around 4-5 lbs a week, but I still stay very tired and do not feel like doing anything I barely get up to go to work it sucks. I thought the more I lost the better I would feel. I realy want to start exercising but I am so exhausted all the time. Any suggestions out there?

Me and my sister where sleeved on April 6 as well and we both find that walking realy helps with the gas right after surgery my left should and chest realy hurt from all the air they but in but as soon as I started walking it started feeling better. The more you walk the more air you can get rid of also have you lost alot of weight before your surgery your pressure on your CPAP may be a little too high now. I am a resgistered sleep tech and a registered respiratory therapist I have worked with sleep apnea pts for over 5 yrs if you have any questions about the CPAP I may be able to help.
