Hi
During surgery you may have lost some blood causing electrolyte imbalance , i recommend that you test calcium/phosphorus, magnesium , sodium , potassium, zink levels
I am almost sure this this the main cause
Good Luck
In my opinion you can be suffering anaemia due to surgery..
Do you have stomach ache?
A CBC test is essential before all..
hi,
these are long term post-operative complications of back to back major surgeries.
