Roe,

My son had mono two years ago. The worst part for him was the sore throat

and fever that ran for two weeks. Yes, you get very run down from mono but

this comes after the fever. It can take months to feel on top again. If you

were feeling tired before the sore throat, I would think something else is

going on as well...maybe your vits. We took my son to the doctor but there

was really nothing that could be done except to let it run it's course. It

may make you feel better just to know one way or the other. Strep throat can

last a while too. My whole family has had this as well. I am sure others on

the list can give you more info.

Hope you feel better soon,

Dawn

Hey Roe,

I had MONO about a million years ago in middle school. I was first

diagnosed w/ a sinus infection but I knew it was Mono because

several kids at school were out with it. About a week after going

to the doc. originally, I went back and he did test for Mono. My

neck glands were swollen noticably by this time w/2 or 3 big lumps

on each side. I also had lumps in my armpits and who knows where

else. I was home in bed for a month. No treatment but rest that I

recall. It took about 6 months to really feel good again.

Thanks,

Diane

Roe,

I forgot to say my doc. was a regular small town GP. Didn't need a

specialist to diagnose.

Thanks,

Diane

Have you had any labs recently? There are many things that can affect

energy level after WLS. These are thyroid problems, anemia, B12 deficiency

and probably some other things.

I have definately been in your shoes. For me it was all due to low iron,

B12, protein, thyroid, etc. Once I got that straigtend out, I felt much

better. But it did take time.

If I were you, I would have the following labs done to determine if you have

any of these problems. Some of these problems can be dangerous. Anemia can

be life threatening.

..

LAB TESTS Regularly - for gastric bypass patients*

*Keep track of any levels which are declining from one set of tests to the

next, even if not yet in the low range. Make any corrections necessary in

your diet before the levels get too low.
