vsg staple line leak

[JillyT 9]

I had vsg early March and unfortunately suffered a staple line leak. It was discovered in the eve after the surgery when I passed out trying to get up from bed. Ended up having to have 2 units of blood transfused. It was so scary. Then the am went back into surgery to have it repaired. & then 2 more units of blood. I also had a hernia repair. Stayed I hospital for 4 days. It was such a traumatic experience. I went back to work from home at week 2. Then fairly quickly went back to work in the office and doing normal life. Problem is that after having to travel for work a few times, and doing every day life stuff I've become so fatigued & worn out I can barely function. I am trying to figure out what is going on. If it's stress that pushed me over the edge, or my body just not able to handle it. I had all my blood work done & thyroid checked etc, and all checks out normal. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar. The exhaustion is so bad. My body practically aches. I'm working from home for the next few weeks to try & regain strength. Anyone have anything similar? Thanks

I haven't, and sorry to hear your experience was this bad.

Crossing my fingers the rest of your journey is a lot more successful.

You don't say what and how much you are eating and how much liquid, etc...

I get very tired easily and weak when I don't have enough protein! I had surgery march 13, this morning I was convinced I was going to er because I was lightheaded , no shaky and I realized I hadn't eaten or drank any Water, super scary! But it's important to get fluids and Protein in to sustain energy and prevent body from starvation mode & muscle loss.
