Hoping someone can help – I had VSG on December 16^th. Other than some cardiac issues I’ve had no complications and am down 45 pounds. I feel great EXCEPT for extreme fatigue and sleepiness. I’ve been back to my surgeon who did all the blood tests and say everything looks great. I’m getting close to 70 grams of Protein in each day. I’m working out a few times a week. I am struggling with my fluids and many days only get in around 40 ounces – some days I hit my 64 and others I don’t get in 20.

I’ve been to my PCP a few times – she is about to run a mono test (I’ve had it twice before – but since this is lasting months we don’t think it is mono again). I’ve been to my cardiologist who has cut me back on my beta blockers since I’ve lost weight – so that isn’t the culprit because I still feel very tired all the time.

Anyone go through this or have any insight?

I’m really struggling to function some days I’m so exhausted. On the weekends I have to be careful or I could sleep all day.

Help?

Maybe you're just tired. Were you able to take enough time off of work to recover. I mean our bodies have been through a lot and there are so many studies out now emphasizing the importance of sleep. I'm certainly not a doctor but this will pass. There's outside circumstances also. Day light savings, seasons changing, some areas lack of sun! All I'm saying is you are doing the right thing by taking care of yourself and going to the doc. So just relax. It will get better!????
