lmnlineman 0 Posted June 1, 2009 I was banded May 19 at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth. I am finally getting back to my old self (minus a few pounds :party:) but am so sleepy all of the time. I'm guessing that this comes with the territory, but thought I'd check and see if any of you were feeling the same way. I just found this forum and love it! The information and support that is offered here is just great. Anyone else banded on the 19th? Nice to "meet" you all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mamabully 0 Posted June 1, 2009 I was also banded on the 19th along with my best friend. We had back to back surgeries and were able to have an entire day and night at the hospital together. My energy level came back to normal by three of four days after surgery. My best friends did as well. I feel really fortunate that we felt as great as we did. I am sure you will get sronger and I truly believe that the more you push yourself to walk and move the quicker the energy comes back. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
singingintherain 1 Posted June 1, 2009 Today I went to the market and to pick up some meds at the clinic and I am totally wiped out. I also find that the bra band and the waistband from my slacks cause soreness. In an hour I am going to take a nap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindaD 3 Posted June 1, 2009 Today is the first day I didn't take multiple naps. I worked from home (just phone and email) and I made it through the whole day! I think I'll go to the office tomorrow... maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
