My heart rate is lower than usual its in the 40's and 50's the gas pain is horrible but I'm walking for 15 minutes every hour. I feel weak though.

Mine was very low in the hospital! They were constantly watching it. In the 40's and lower

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

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!!

And try a heating pad on your tummy for the gas pains....

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!!
