Hi All,

I am one week out from my breast lift and bra roll excision. I am finally back to work today and as far as pain from surgery, doing quite well. I don't have much pain to speak of, at this point, but do have some issues that I thought maybe some of you might be able to help me with. It has been one full week since the surgery and I still feel weird - lethargic, not much energy, dizzy and lightheaded sometimes, and just an overall brain fog - like I can't concentrate or focus like normal. I feel really strange. Could this be from the anesthesia, just side effects from being put to sleep from surgery, could my iron be low? I am not sure what to think. The surgeon did tell me that I bleed a lot during the procedure, so that's what made me think it could be the iron. Anyone have any insights for me? I am going back to the doc tomorrow and will definitely be talking with him about it, but I thought if someone had a similar experience or knew something about this stuff could share with me and set my mind at ease. It's starting to worry me. I wasn't planning on feeling so crappy this far out from surgery. Help please!

Thanks all!
