Question:
Can this mean a leak?

I am 14 days post-op, and have absoutely no energy. I am SO tired all the time, and am not losing any weight. I don't even feel like inches (i haven't measured). My clothes are just as tight as always. At support group they said being tired could be a sign of a leak. I'm just curious if it could still be the anesetic in me?    — candymom64 (posted on May 16, 2002)

I was also very tired the first month following surgery. I called my surgeon with my concerns and was told that I should drink more water and some juice. Also you have to understand that you are now eating MUCH less than what your body has been used to. You are having to use stored fat for fuel now in addition to the food you eat. It takes a while for your body to adjust back to normal. Have comfort in the fact that this happens to almost everyone. But I would call your surgeon just in case there is reason for concern, at the very least it will help calm your fears. I wish you the best of luck!!!!
