Feeling weak - 5 months post op



Recommended Posts

I am feeling so weak by the end of my work day. Is anyone else feeling weak or has felt like this ? If so what helped? I feel like I come hope from work and I am so exhausted. All I want to do is go to bed. I literally have no energy. If I dont sit down I start getting dizzy and then nauseous. Any afvice ?

I should mention that i have had my period twice in the month of july. One cycle for 15 days and the second for 12 days. I have been diagnosed with PCOS.

You could be anemic. Are you taking Iron? I would talk to your Gyn Dr about your period. That's a lot of bleeding.

I had that too. I needed to increase my calorie intake some and get extra Vitamin B12 and that seemed to help.

Anemia or other medical conditions could be the issue. Please check with you doctors as soon as possible. It is very important.

Sounds like our body is stressed out. Sometimes, stress can cause irregular periods. When I was super stressed a few months ago, I had my period for 2 weeks. I have PCOS, too. Try contacting your doctor. In my opinion, this is normal.

I'm 5 months out feeling exhausted during the day also, about a month ago my pcp found out I'm very anemic, I've been on a 2 a day 325mg of Iron for a month now, still tired however I heard it can take awhile for iron levels to come back up....

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
