Suggest Treatment For Fatigue After Undergoing A Lap Cholecystectomy
Lap Chole on 12-27, have not taken any pain meds, afraid of vomiting, moving around in the house a lot but I am so tired. Have Lupus but not sure which kind yet........ supposed to go back to work on Tuesday......what to do about the fatigue......
noted history of fatigue and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. any laparoscopic surgery has a faster recovery rate as compared to open surgery. do not be afraid or anxious to move around and take in any food if the doctor has permitted you to do so already, because this will help your recovery a lot. ambulation/movement will help motility of your intestines as well. low fat diet is recommended. if symptoms are persistent, it is best if you do a follow-up consult with your surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
