Way to go Kim. So glad you called your provider. If you are bipolar, you may need an adjustment on your medications and that may be all that is needed. But the Vitamins and Iron are a likely reason for your fatigue. I know I sound all experty, but I am not. I am a nurse though.
I have my surgery sleeve on Dec. 19. The emotional part where I used to turn to food for comfort is my greatest fear.
I have a favor. I am trying to find pics of well-healed scars after VGS surgery. I see fresh ones, but not a lot of healed ones. Would anyone be willing to share a pic of your tum? Various stages of healing (fresh to well healed) would probably be appreciated by all. Thanks in advance.
HI Kim. I'm reaching out to you as a preop, but I have a history of depression so I know a bit how you feel. Did you suffer from depression before your surgery? If so, it may be that the "honeymoon" period is over and you are feeling let down a bit that the excitement has ended? Or it could be that you are anemic and need Iron and Vitamins, or it could be both. I hope you can see your doctor and also pay attention to your supplements. Please keep us updated. Take care of yourself.
