Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   | Lazell, sorry you're feeling so tired all the time, but being it's only been five weeks since your surgery it's probably that your body has just gone through a big ordeal and it's still healing. I remember being tired too. Try to get in enough protein, that's really important. I drink a prepared protein drink, called EAS and I like it. The more protein you take in the better you will feel. Also, you should call your Doctor-see what he has to say. Good luck sweetie.

Weight Loss Method Physician Prescribed Diet/Exercise | Thanks for bringing this subject up. I've never heard anyone else talk about it and just figured something was wrong with ME--which still may be true... LOL It very well MAY be that you are still tired from surgery. So I don't know if we're in the same boat or not. I am SOOOOOO exhausted that I thank GOD I'm on disability leave for something ELSE!!! I'd probably get fired otherwise. I get up fine in the morning but fall asleep off and on ALL DAY. My Doc actually put me on Provogil, which is for a disorder with daytime "sleep attacks" that are uncontrollable. THAT hasn't even helped. I'm non-Op and use protein shakes daily. ANY suggestions are welcome. Oy! Mya |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | yes its very normal. YOUR still healing tons on the inside even though from the outside you think you have healed your not. I found it took a full three months to rid that! hang in there! but if this tired thing is occuring right after eating then its a form of dumping and could be what you eat.....

| Super Moderator  | Yes, it sounds like dumping to me, too. Check out the article linked in Bariatric Surgery: Postoperative Concerns.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I do remember that feeling. My surgeon said that my energy would kick back in about 6-8 weeks. I would say he was right on the money becasue at about 7 weeks I was finally feeling better. I too would have days that I was soooooo tired. Its hard when you go back to work. But it did come back, the engery. I went back to work at 4 weeks. So yes the first few weeks were tough. Your body is still adjusting. Your not eating carbs are you? That could be effecting you. some people get very sleepy with carbs.
