  1. VSG was one week ago. I’m struggling staying hydrated. I am imagining having to eat at some point and still managing to get a minimum of 65oz of fluid. Does it get easier to manage that? When?
  2. I had the sleeve 6 days ago (02/24). I’ve had elevated heart rate every day since. Ranging between 90-120 resting and 145 when Im up and around. My usual resting HR before surgery was occasionally elevated so I’m not sure if I should be concerned. I don’t have any shortness of breath but I do get easily fatigued when trying to walk around, this as well I guess could be due to the fact that I just had surgery. Anyone deal with something similar?

  4. That makes me feel better, thank you so much!

  6. Surgery is scheduled for 02/24. I have been battling a cold for the last few days. Woke up with sore throat and ear pain. Got examined and looks just viral. I just feel discouraged to be sick days before surgery. Just want everything to go as planned. Anyone been a little sick but still recover well?
