I had surgery on August 9th... the alarm kept going off that night every time I laid my head down... It stayed around 41... I would wave my arms in the air to get it back up to 60..... then lay down and down it would fly...

I am now two months out, 30 pounds down and doing great :D

Valdosta, are you still in the hospital?? If not, I think you need to call your doctor immediately. In my opinion. That's alarmingly low. Please, take care of yourself!! :)

Oh yeah. I almost forgot about that part of the hospital stay. My heart rate averaged around 40 bpm and at night it would drop to 35 or 30. I thought, wow my heart rate is getting low. The nurses had to reset the alarm threshold 5 times I think. The most annoying part was that the alarm would go off every 10 minutes at night and the nurses would stop coming in. I finally got the alarm silenced so I could get some sleep. Hand in hand, my o2 levels were also getting low at 75. Walking around the halls caused them to drop more. I finally got to go home after a week when the bpm and o2 levels stabilized. I did a ton of walking for the next 3 weeks, 3-5 times a day slowly improving my endurance. I think I felt myself again at about 1 month.

Yes mine was in the 40's

I think its from the anesthesia.

Make sure your walking every hour.

It helps gas, heart rate and healing!

Hope your recovery goes smoothly! Your in my thoughts!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
