I am about 2 weeks post op and feeling okay. Trying to keep hydrated and keep food in is becoming difficult to do. Just found out that I am low in iron. I've been very sluggish lately and it's difficult to get out of bed in the morning, but I am back at work. Will I feel better soon?

I became anemic after surgery too! That was the worst feeling, especially not knowing why I felt so shitty!

Get you some iron pills and take them everyday. You will start to feel better in about 2 days! I take 325 mg of ferrous gluconate twice a day and a 30mg iron chew. It helps tremendoulsly!

I am sure your dr. will give you something!

Good luck!

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on getting your sleeve. I would contact your doctor and he should prescribe Iron for you. That should help with the tiredness.

Thanks Kelly and Nancy. I started taking them and I feel so much better.
