My surgery was April 20th (wow, 4 weeks tomorrow). I understand being tired the first 2 weeks....but now that I'm eating food...well, the "soft food" stage.... I didn't expect to still feel so tired.

Has anyone experienced exhaustion? I sleep w/ my cpap mask on like I'm supposed to. I take Iron and get my Protein in. I exercise ( I even backed off on how much thinking my body couldn't handle it). I don't understand why even when I get a full 6 hours of undisturbed sleep... after I drop the kids off I come home and sleep for another 3 to 4 hours!

Anyone else feel tired ALL the time????

If I start missing my FLINTSTONES COMPLETE Vitamins WITH "CHOLINE", then yes I feel terrible. Henry Ford Bariatric Center puts all it's Bariatric patients on these vitamins. They come in a orange box, says contains Choline, and they are the COMPLETE ONLY! The other ones won't do it.

I take 4 for the day, and I feel good.

Eh you had surgery 4 weeks ago; surgery takes a lot out of you. Your body can take 6+ weeks to heal. Maybe calm down on the exercise and really focus on resting. Though it may not seem it to you, being banded is an invasive surgery and your body needs time to get used to the new changes. I wouldn't sweat it. Focus on your Protein intake, Water, and be sure you're taking a Multivitamin.< /p>

      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.
