GradyCat 3,695 Posted March 16, 2019 That sounds normal at just 6 days out because your body is still recovering from major surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theskinnyme87 36 Posted March 16, 2019 My incision pain is bearable I have eight gashes all at healing well just a bit sore when I searched for reasons for fast pulse a lot of places talked of a leak and now that has me worried, I don't get winded just sitting down but even walking to the kitchen I can feel my heart beat a lot fasterSent from my BND-L34 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted March 17, 2019 You're always a little weak, tire easily and a little sore. Your body has gone through a lot recently, be easy on YOU, and daily things should smooth out and get better. If you had a leak, honey, you would KNOW IT, major pain and you would be more than simply winded. I have a stricture in my pouch(rny) and ulcers in my small intestine, and neither are so. polite as your problems. But I am getting better, just a more bumpy trek than average. 1 Ed_NW reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larisa1 60 Posted March 17, 2019 Are you getting enough Water? It sounds like you might be a little dehydrated. Do you have a fever? High heart rate is also a sign that you could be getting an infection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
