Elevated Pulse- 6 days post op



Recommended Posts

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?

Dehydration and low electrolytes can cause elevated heart rate. That being said, I'd definitely call your doctor in the morning. Good luck!

Your body is healing from surgery. Not uncommon for heart rate to be up. Add dehydration to the mix and it is more likely. And fatigue is VERY normal post op. Hang in there, get your fluids in as best as you can. If you are still concerned, check in with your doctor.

Totally covered above - But try drinking some pedi lite and drown yourself in Water. You just shocked the hell out of your body and your mind is all over the place starting this journey, if course the ticker is running a little faster.

Also you can take a 80mg asprin see if that helps -

No, please don't take aspirin or at least not before checking with your surgeon!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
