You will be on oxygen when you are in recovery and can possibly stay on it for the first day. Everyone is different and reacts to being put out in different ways.
I had 2 surgeries this yr and was on oxygen both times. It will eventually come back  up.

Please don't worry :) Youtube and the web are great tools but you will ultimately freak yourself about stuff that you have no control over once you are under.

Just relax:) It was the best advice I was given!

My thought is that many bariatric patients have sleep apnea.  So when they are out and lying down..their body isn't 'waking' up with each apnic episode or hypopnea.  Nor is there cpap on. 

I have apnea and I know that as soon as i'm down and relaxed/sedated, my tongue and tonsils fall back and I snore like a beast and have apnea.

Don't worry, the doctors will get that oxygen back up in no time!

to the best of my knowledge, everyone goes on oxygen..don't worry! you will be okay!

I went on oxygen for the first day after the first surgery and for the first 4 days I believe after my second surgery. It just depends on your body.

Michelle,

I agree with the other girls. I was actually on oxygen from Tuesday to Thursday and I don't have sleep apnea. Oxygen also helps to get the anesthetics out of your body. I also had a fever on and off my whole hospital stay. Tuesday night and Wednesday being the worst but I was told it's very normal for the body to be defensive after a major surgery.

You need to take a deep breath and relax, there will be plenty of time to fret once you get your call. You are gonna have your nickers in a knot and have yourself all stressed out. I know you are like me, we're both worry warts but I do hope you find a sense of calmness before surgery like I did. That being said we have all had different experience and to my knowledge we have all said we would do it again so that should be reassuring.

General anaesthetic is a breathing depressor.  Basically, under general, and afterwards, you tend to take short, shallow breaths.  Everyone is on oxygen after surgery, no matter what the surgery.  Taking deep breaths not only helps your body rid itself of the anaesthetic, it helps with pain, relaxation, and in getting your "breathing cycle" back where it should be.  If you don't want the oxygen going into your nose and drying it out (take vaseline if that is an issue for you...) or the oxygen face mask if you are a mouth breather .... take those deeep breaths!  Its also possible to get rid of the oxygen, and end up having it put back on during the night, evidently people tend to breathe shallower at night.  I've even had a nurse wake me up to do some deep breathing at night.

As for fever and high blood pressure, you will likely have a bp monitor on you for several hours after surgery, and someone checking your temp regularly.  After every surgery I've had (and sadly there have been several) three things were guaranteed: oxygen, bp monitor, and temp verification.  This isn't limited to bariatric surgery at all, and totally makes sense ..... bp increase in reaction to a stressful event, and surgery stresses your body! and temp increase as the body starts the healing process, and making sure that no nasty bugs got in.

I'm glad you are researching and prepping yourself.  :)
