That's very normal. You may look and feel ok on the outside, but your body has been through a lot and is still healing on the inside. You had a lot of tissue cut, including muscle, and it takes a lot of energy for the body to heal the damage. Hence, the fatigue.

It takes most people at least 8 weeks to truly be back to normal.

I'm five months out and from time to time get the tired sluggish feeling and am so tired by 6pm ghat I need to nap for half an hour. Usually it will happen if I've forgotten to take my Vitamins for a few days so now the first thing I do when I go to have my first drink is take them religiously.

It's still early days for you so as the others have said you're still healing.

      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.
