Low Energy Levels One Month After Tummy Tuck

August 3, 2012
Asked By:bava in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I am 4 weeks post Tummy Tuck and liposuction of the thighs and my energy level is so low that I have to lie down after doing simple chores such as cooking, grocery shopping or even taking a shower. I was low in Ferritin levels prior to the operation and I am now taking 3 tablets of 'Proferrin' daily and eating well, but I see no improvement in my general well-being and stamina. Is this normal?
