Hello. I was banded on the 6th. I am still tired all the time. I wake up and 4 hours later im wanting to go back to bed for a few hours. I slept last night from 5pm to 11pm, then 2am to 7am, and here is is 11am and I wanna crawl back into bed. I was wondering how long does it take before you get your energy back and not sleepy all the time.

I think it is different for everybody. I was tired for about 10 days. I tried to listen to my body and rest when it wanted me to. When I went back to work after having 8 days off, I found that I was fine not napping even though I felt like it.

I was banded on the 5th. Feeling more energetic today than I have

I would listen to what your body is telling you. You just might need some extra sleep so your body can heal. Make sure you are getting enough Protein too!

Hope you are feeling better soon!

I know after my hysterectomy last year I felt like that for at least 10 days or so, I would expect the band to be the same way. Any time they invade your body like that you need extra rest to heal.

I am 3 1/2 months post op and I am still struggling with fatigue (and mild hair loss) and sometimes just pure exhaustion. My doc assures me it will pass but it hasn't. I am taking bariatric Vitamin B-12 and B-complex in addition to the mulivitamin. Sometimes it will give me some energy but not enough to make it through the day. It is a constant struggle despite the Myoplex Protein shakes, so I know its not the lack of protein daily and blood work shows my protein levels are normal.

Sometimes the anaesthetic can knock you around for a while but hang in there, I am sure it will get better. Just ensure you keep up the eating etc
