Around the middle of the day I get really tired. I mean really tired. I don't take a multi Vitamin do you think this could be the problem? Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

Thanks

How long has it been since you have had the band put in? I was very tired too, Once I started my Vitamins it really helped

You definitely need a multi--preferably one designed for banded patients. DEFINITELY.

It may not be the cause of your current issues (for those, I'd check with a doctor--persistent fatigue can mean many things--or nothing), but it really WILL affect your energy level in the long run.

Yes not taking a Vitamin could be your problem. I feel off the "wagon" for a week and stop taking my vitamin and it certainly affected me. Also make sure you are getting your Protein. I am a huge fan of at least 1 Protein Drink a day. The real stuff from GNC or so. Not a slimfast or similar shake.< /p>

My surgeon instructs all his patients to take 2(!) adult, chewable Centrum a dayand two Viactive calcium chews (yum). Add a good Vitamin and get some extra sleep and see if you feel better.

Are you taking your Vitamin B12? I find that gives me a lot of energy.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
