Couple Questions

1. Fatigue?? When did this stop after your surgery?

2. JP Tube did you have constant drainage? Mine stopped darn near does that mean something is wrong? 

3. Hot flashes did anyone else get them? They are not on the list of side effects? Could this surgery have sent me into early menopause?

I know its early out but these are questions I have.

 

Thanks for your help

Hi Susan. My worst "side-effect" of the surgery was the exhaustion. I hated it. I finally began to regain some energey after about 5 weeks. That was when I started with the somewhat regualr  food. It was much better after. It did take several more weeks for me to really feel like doing anything but after 5 weeks, you will begin to see a drastic improvement.  I did not have a tube so I do not know that answer. I actually do not remember hot flashes. I do know that I am always freezing. So, you will have that to look forward to. Enjoy the heat now while you have it. Trust me!

1. Fatique? Lasted about 6 weeks. Give it time. You are still recovering from major surgery.

2. JP Tube? I didn't have one. If you are in doubt call your surgeon's office.

3. Hot flashes? I didn't have any. But then I haven't had any with menopause either. I do know that Kathy Newton experienced hot flashes.

Hope you are doing well.

Susan, call the surgeons office or doc on call ask about the j tub maybe it can come out its there to pick up the drainage if your not having much I would want it out ,  I had hot flashes could be do to all the meds you had during and after surgery trying to come out of your body,  fatigue well cant help you there I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue so it never goes away with me just gets worse then other times... give your surgeon a call they can answer all this  DO you have chills? that i would make sure to call the doc in case of infection  again you had majior surgery. hope you fell better soon keep us posted hugs  Annrenee  knoxville
