I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow. In the beginning I had alot of energy it felt like and Now I find myself really really tired and my stomach is still sore.....It feels like it balls up in a knot and stays there sometimes it releases and than its back again....I was going back to work today but decided to take another week of and rest. I did drive a day or two and thats when I really started to feel tired and in pain.... Is this normal... Also I feel hungry alot but when I eat its not a full feeling its more like my chest is tight or full if that makes sense.... Just worried am I healing correctly and what Im experiencing is it normal or not.....Please share your thoughts or experiences with me!!!!! thanks in advance :-) BTW I have lost 19 pounds since post op(yayyyy) that makes me feel good when sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing or not

Call your doctor and get things checked out. If you feel there is something wrong don't hesitate about going. I put off going to the doctor for a week because I thought I was experiencing normal gas pains. Turned out I had a leak on top of pneumonia. Always listen to what your body tells you. Also the tightness you are feeling in your chest may be your bodies way of letting you know you are full. I had the same feeling and would stop eating a couple of hours later I would eat a little big more if my body would let me. Never take any chances when it comes to your health. One doctor visit could save you a lot of trouble in the future..

You got good advice. We are not doctors, of course. The fullness sounds normal, mine was more in my chest for a long time...seemed like with the swelling I could never get the food straight into my stomach I guess it trickled in. The first time my sleeve was actually full it was like OHHHHH there it is.

I'm not sure of the soreness. I don't recall having soreness that far out except if I over did it. But everyone heals differently. Plus I had the incision only at my belly button which probably makes a difference.
