I am hoping that someone can answer my question about energy levels.  i am 4 1/2 post op from VGS and my energy returned almost right away.  I am doing well for most of the day, but by 7:30 or 8:00 at night, I am exhausted.  Today at work, i had an episode where I just felt totally drained.  I thought I was going to have to leave and go home to nap.  Is this normal?

Are you 4-1/2 months or 4-1/2 years post-op?  If you're 4-1/2 months post-op, give your surgeon a call.

Have you had your labs done recently?

Sorry, 4 1/2 weeks.

Oh goodness, it was a good 8 weeks before I was 100%.  Allow yourself time to recharge.  Even though you go to work every day, make your family aware that you still need healing time and are expecting to do next-to-nothing when you get home.
