I'm only four weeks out, but when I had my followup with my surgeon last week, he told me fatigue will be the last to go. A friend of mine told me it took her more than two months to feel herself. I'm especially tired AND with insomnia on top of it, and when I do sleep it's fairly broken. I'm trying to start adding in more activity because I feel like maybe it's a momentum thing, like if I'm more active I'll become less fatigued. However, I do still need to rest a LOT. Good luck!

Yes, this fatigue is normal and the only way to deal with it really is to start to push yourself. This assumes you are getting your proper hydration.

I just had surgery last wed. On my spine and I can barely keep my eyes open. I realize it is time for me to get my behind moving a bit more. You really have to push yourself to get that back. It will get better.

I go back to work tomorrow. I work midnight shift. Been on normal day schedule since surgery. My energy level is low. This will be interesting.

I work nights too! Long shifts to boot. I am taking the max amount of time allotted because of that. When I got my band the recovery was easier and I worked a more "normal" schedule so I went back after one week. I need to spend the rest of this time off working on my endurance. I have tried doing things but wind up so tired that I need to come home and rest. So for the next two-plus weeks I'll be trying to extend the amount of time I can be out doing things.
