Has anyone had extreme fatigue and pain immediately post band placement? I'm am supposed to do Clear Liquids for 10 days post op. I just don't think the fatigue this bad should be normal. Pain I understand. Any advice???????

Lack of energy and some pain is completely normal. I napped off and on for two days after surgery and the gas pain was unbearable at times but within 5 days I was good. If you are concerned definitely do not hesitate you check in with your Doctor.

Yes - the fatigue is totally normal. Anesthesia alone can do a number, not to mention that you just a major surgery. That, and the complete & total change in diet.

Rest when you need to, and just know that this will pass. If it becomes an ongoing issue, call your doctor.

Also, I found walking as often as I could helped clear up those gas pains...

Someone else on this site told me to have Mylicaon drops and Gas x on hand before the surgery. (mine is monday so I am getting everything this weekend) Same person also said she sucked on those very soft melt in your mouth mints (puffy red and white ones). I'll be thinking of you...Lisa

Thank you all so much for the help. I did call the doctor and she said if it didn't improve I could come in. I was in the hospital for 4 days as it is. I have no veins left even if I needed hydration. I figured being only on clear liquids would be tough..

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
