Hi, I’m new here!

I had a single mastectomy and implant reconstruction a week ago, and I still feel so tired. Sleeping twice a day Slight frown
I wondered if this was normal?

Thank you x

  • You have had major surgery.  Your body needs time to heal.  Sleep is good.  Wish I could sleep.  I am 13 weeks post op and my sleeping is awful.  My reconstruction was used with my tummy fat.  

  • Hi, I'd say pretty normal yes.  I think sleep is the body's way of helping us heal and. As Janicekoolkat says, it's major surgery. I am sure you'll be feeling more energetic soon. Best wishes
