  1. After my surgery my dr would not let them give them in my stomach they did it in my thighs it wasn't as bad and doesn't bruise like it does in your stomach
  2. Hi I'm 57 and had my surgery Feb 14 thaw surgery went great no trouble with leaks nausea or fluids on the other hand I had trouble with my heart shortly after I was back in my room from surgery like 6 nurses stormed in my room asking if I felt ok my sister and I thought they were crazy cause I felt fine and I said why they said my heart rate was 30 I told them last time I had my gallbladder out my heart rate and blood pressure both dropped low and normally my heart rate is in the 50s. So it came up and everything was fine the next morning leak test was good and could keep down liquids and no nausea so I took 3 walks came back told nurse going to take a nap cause I was going home later that day well in a little my heart starts racing and skipping and my heart rate was like 190 called the nurse and got put in ICU I went into what they cal afib said sometimes this happens after surgery cause of the stress on your body so the keep me till tue I went so 4 extra day so Tuesday at home is fine until wed afternoon my stomach started hurting I thought it was gas so I took pain and went to bed Thursday morning when I woke up I could hardly walk I was in so much pain and light headed and dizzy so I was going to check my blood and my son said call your surgeon so detour to emergency room I had fluid and bleeding in my stomach but they couldn't see where it wax coming from so go to icu again and keep checking my blood level And it was drooping so 5 pints of blood so they do a radio active test where they draw some of my blood and make it radio active and put it back into me so they can watch where it goes in me to see where I'm bleeding for an hour luckily it had stopped so they keep me till Tuesday again cause there worried about blood clots caused they had to stop my Coumadin so I don't bleed so I'm home and just waiting for my heart rate to get normal are there going to give me a little shock to put it back in Rytham but everything with my surgery is still great but I'm just really tired dr said I would be tired till my heart started a normal Rhythm I started thinking what did I do to myself I told my cardiac dr which I've know 27 years and he's been my dr 14 years and he told me even with all this trouble it was the best thing I had did for my health

  5. Also you will love the pickline and it doesn't hurt to much cause they can give all meds IV and draw blood from it they did one on me to
  6. Katt so sorry sound like some of what your describing with your heart sounds same as mine they called it afib it's where you can feel your heart beating fast and not regular and heart rate goes up and down they say this happens sometime from the stress of the surgery just try to relax I know easier said but just takes some deep breaths they gave me some meds to help regulate my heart you've just had so much going on it makes it very hard you just have to remember this was all done for better health I asked my cardiac dr what did I do to myself by the way the hospital dr asked what relations I had with him cause she said I was very important to him cause he could give her my 13 year history of the top of his head whole name and birthday So he said to me this was the best thing I had done for myself even with all the trouble I was having so just remember whose watching over you and knows what a special person you are and how much your family needs you just keep praying as all of us on here will to. This just makes you very tired I still have no energy and very tired all the time just want to sleep all day and night luckily my pain isn't that bad so I'm only taking Tylenol cause the Loritab just makes me feel weird and very tired So take some deep breaths if you have Pandora on your phone put the relaxation music on it really help to relax you and just try to sleep and not worry because you have someone very special watching over you Call me if you need to talk 678-618-8300Patricia

    vitamins?

    Now or whenever my dr let's me take them Bariatric Advantage because they have a form for your dr to fill out and fax back and will give you 3 months free and you can do it for additional 3 months free just resend form but when I finish those I think I will switch to fusion cause you take less and are cheaper my dr likes either brand and he's very picky on what you take
