For 3 weeks post total knee replacement I had sleep deprivation for sure; and constipation issues. Helps to read others' comments.

Not really. Unable to sleep after surgery because pain keeps waking me up. Pain pills have constipated me. Very uncomfortable feeling. Only time I feel more comfortable is while lying in bed. Even if I can't sleep.

I had surgery in September and yes, I do feel very tired even in the morning after breakfast. I do think that some of the medication is responsible but think rest and sleep are part of the healing process.

I have been an insomniac my whole life but after the surgery I was still prescribed my regular sleep medicines plus pain killers and anti-inflammatory drugs. I had done the worst possible. Two days after surgery I came home and continued to take all my medicines and sleep was very difficult with the full leg metal support. I went into an orthopedic inter care hospital for 2 weeks and same medicines and fragmented sleep. Now 12 weeks post-surgery I am always fatigued. I just can't get quality sleep.

It is going on 3 weeks since I had my gallbladder removed and I sleep a lot. It had gotten to the point where it caused liver jaundice and a real bad case of pancreatitis. I have had 3 total hip replacements and 2 lower spinal fusions so I thought I was a veteran in the surgery world. But this has left me exhausted on a molecular level. And I don't know how to explain it any other way.

I had a retro pubic sling surgery done 12 days ago. I went back to work after 7 days. My job is standing and talking a lot but I can't stop sleeping when I get home from work. I slept 14 hours last night and have been up for two hours (coffee too) and now I want to sleep again. I have no energy to do the work I need to do on my days off either. I am worried how long this will last, it's a huge struggle for me.

It is now 3 weeks post my surgery and my lassitude remains unabated. I sleep 16 hours a day and am still tired.

I am not sure if the question relates to the hospital stay or sleeping at home. I was slow to wake up in recovery (took 2 hours), slept about 4 hours that night. I have difficulty sleeping at home.

I had cataract surgery 9 days ago. The operation went well, but I find it very hard to keep awake for more than a couple of hours.

I had what I thought was a minor eye surgery for band keratopathy in February of 2018. I did pass out but was not completely out. I had some bleeding but not a lot. It has been one month now and I am totally exhausted all the time. I have rapid and irregular heartbeat, I sleep about 8 hours a night and take 2 or 3 naps a day that last from 2 to 3 hours each. I had to travel by car with my irritable husband driving 4 times in the last 3 months from Fresno to San Francisco which was extremely stressful. I get winded doing the slightest household chores (laundry, dishes). I am 60 years old but not overweight or otherwise unhealthy. I do spend way too much time on the computer out of boredom. Every time I eat, I fall asleep shortly after. This article helped me understand what may be going on. Thank you.
