Should I go to the hospital

[Atsu 3]

I am one week post-op.

ive always been a slow healer, and I think I’m experiencing it now as well. I can drink full liquids now, but I can’t take more than a few sips of Protein Shake or Soup before I feel full. It’s also hard to drink regular liquids constantly through the day without my stomach feeling upset.

As of today, I can’t walk from my bedroom to my living room without my heartbeat skyrocketing and losing my breath. I can’t shower on my own because I can’t stand for more than a minute or so without the same thing happening. My heartbeat doesn’t go below 120 even after sitting down for a while.

i know this is happening because I’m basically starving and probably dehydrated. Has anyone gone through this too? Should I seek remedy at a hospital?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Go to the hospital or urgent care. Do NOT drive yourself. Bring documentation of your surgery and make everyone aware of when your surgery was. If you have a number to call from your surgeon's group, call it. Sip. Sip. Sip. Take fluids with you, and keep sipping.

Elevated heart rate is a sign of serious dehydration. It can also be a sign of a leak or other problem. If your temperature is elevated, this is especially true. Be safe...go to urgent care/ER.

I agree it's probably time to seek medical help. Good luck to you. Let us know how it goes!

Hi Atsu, checking in on how you’re doing. How are you feeling? I hope you went to the ER or called your surgeons office.
