Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Low Energy Levels After A Gallbladder Surgery?
I had gall bladder surgery 10 days ago following a week-long pancreatitis attack. Surgery went fine and I have had had no symptoms since. But since the surgery I have not recovered even close to a normal energy level. Is this lack of energy a normal progress so far away from surgery?
Generalized fatigue and low energy can happen after a major surgery and it will settle by itself. No specific treatment is required. You can drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated.
If symptoms persist, better to consult a physician and check your electrolytes as low electrolytes can cause weakness. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
General & Family Physician
