Italianma7 4 Posted March 8, 2019 I was sleeved on Feb 26. I came home from the hospital March 1. I have a drain in that isn't scheduled to come out until March 20. My incision sites are itching like crazy. I called the office and they told me to take benadryl. I am taking my Vitamins and drinking my Protein Drinks. My energy is extremely low. I realize that I am only a week out from surgery but I'm starting to get frustrated. How long did it take before you guys started to get energy and or feeling better? 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTealael 25,430 Posted March 8, 2019 I also had a drain. I had to baby it. I emptied, measured cleaned and logged its contents. It was work. But I believe I'm healthier for it. I had low energy for quite some time after surgery but i rolled with it instead of fighting against it. I didn't need stress adding complications to the pot so i tried to remain super chill about everything. It was major surgery after all and i was honesty happy to be alive. My incisions took a while to heal and were very itchy so i cleaned *around* the incisions with alcohol before putting the hydrocortisone cream *near* the incisions. It helped alot. One week down many more to go ! 3 Wanda247, gabybab and Samantha T reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerl86 26 Posted March 8, 2019 I was sleeved on the 25th too and I'm just getting some energy back. Different for everyone, but like@gabybab said it will get better! 2 Wanda247 and gabybab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
