I had the gastric sleeve done February 25th 2021. I have had little pain. I've been home from the hospital almost a week. Im doing great with the liquid diet im on but I have very little energy. I want to start working out a little but I feel so drained. When will that feeling go away?

yes - it does go away, but it takes a few weeks. Your body is still recovering from the trauma of surgery and you're taking in very few calories, so it'll take awhile before you're feeling peppy again. But...you will!

Me too Kmorrison! My VSG day was 2/23, so I'm just a couple of days ahead of you. Today was the first day that I felt like I had enough energy to take a walk around the block. It felt wonderful and it wiped me out.

We're surgery twins. I had mine on the 25th as well. I feel totally normal as if I didn't even have surgery. I have all my energy back now. Are you taking the B12? It helps. Good luck!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
