Hello, i tend to agree with Kristy, Becca, your body will be tired for the best part of 6 weeks to 3 months. It can take longer depending on how extensive the surgery was & exactly what was done.

You must rest!!! the more you move around in the first 2 weeks the more tired you will be. (speaking from my experience). I had 2 rounds of surgery last year the last on Dec 21 o5, and was VERY tired.

Do you read? maybe try to find a good book and tuck yourself up.....you deserve to rest after surgery.

take care, best wishes from Australia, Sami
