I'm 10 weeks post op, is it normal to still feel fatigued? (photos)

Hi asquill17,It sounds like you have endured many different complications post-operatively. In my opinion, any one of these complications can extend your recovery time and cause fatigue. I recommend you seek a complete evaluation of your health status from your physician. Take care of yourself!#fatigue #complications #tummytuck

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.At this point (10 weeks post-po) the swelling is normal.To reduce it, I recommend you perform daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the abdomen and wear a postoperative girdle from thigh to the breasts.Fatigue can be due to other process suck as anaemia, I recommend you to have a personal evaluation to determinate whats going on.Kind regards,Dr. Emma Mallol Cotes.-

 It sounds like you have had a very complicated postoperative course. Fatigue  is very normal in an uncomplicated situation for up to 8 to 12 weeks following surgery. When you require multiple hospitalizations, blood transfusions and antib, this time frame can be pushed out significantly. As long as your surgeon is  happy with your current state of healing, I would not be too concerned about the fatigue. As your blood volume is restored and your body continues to heal, your energy levels should return to normal.
