Home from surgery

Hi all just got home yesterday. Had to spend a extra day my breathing and pulse ox was very bad 70 on 5lt oxagen. But i am better now no blod clots in lungs. Am a little sore but the biggest thing is i am so tired. Is this normal. just so exausted and sleep alot cant keep eyes open. any advice, Pattie

Hi Pattie, Yes, it's normal. You've had major surgery and that's a lot of trauma to your body. It needs rest to heal. Just remember to get up and move around as much as you can to prevent the blood clots. When I was tired and sore after my surgery I thought about how skinny I was going to be. Today I weighed myself, and I passed the 100 lb. mark...I've lost 100.5 lbs. So things will get better! Hang in there. Jackie

Congratulations!!!!! PJ wfad

hey pattie. I just got home yesterday from lap-roux-en-y. I am just trying to get up and move around as much as possible. I get winded easy but just getting the blood flowing makes me feel soooooo much better. Just take it one day at a time. Hopefully this to will pass. God Bless.

Hey Rusty! Yes it will pass . Just take care to get enough rest, walk when you can and keep us posted when you feel like it. Take care of you! PJ wfad

Hi Pattie, So glad to see you here! WOW you are doing great. From everything I have read and all of the people I have talked to I can say the tired feeling is normal and will last for a while. Just take care, rest and walk when you can. Keep us posted as you feel like it. Really glad to have you back so soon! Take care of you! PJ wfad
