Is it normal to be tired all the time after pituartary gland removal?

Need hormone tests: The pituitary gland releases many hormones. After the removal of the pituitary gland, your body will not receive those hormonal signals - possibly causing you to be tired all the time. Most people are started on hormonal therapy after pituitary removal. An endocrine doctor would be able to evaluate you to see if any changes to your therapy are needed.
