hi Keith....I had my surgery in May of 2004, and expected to hit the ground running (which was not the case!). I had no stamina and was overly tired too, so I asked Dr. Allam what to do about it--he told me to start working out, and increase my cardio. I joined Curves (that won't work for you, but there are alot of other places that will!) and within a month I couldn't believe the difference in my energy and stamina. It made all the difference in the world! As far as your vitamins go, check with Dr. Allam on that... MC3 I hope this helps....

It is common to be tired after the surgery. I do agree that exercise is important. Also make sure that you are getting enough protein to retain any muscle mass that you have. Good luck
