I am 3 months post gastric sleeve. Before surgery my heart rate stayed around 100 bomb, resting it would be between 80-90. In this last week or so my heart rate stays around 70 bpm, but at rest it's between40-50 bpm. Is this normal. I feel for the most part OK. I am having what feels like anxiety, like my heart is racing yet it's not. Anyone else have similar issue? Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Do I need to remove the skin? Or will I be fine if my stomach can handle it with the skin? Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

They say it last 4 weeks. If you don't have a binder I suggest you buy one. I wear mine all day and some times at night. It helps a lot. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

The pain from stitch last like 4 weeks. The pain sucks. However, a binder really helps and then walk with it on. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I smoked almost two weeks post op did just fine. Didn't affect me any different then before surgery. Choose a stain that doesn't give you the munchies though. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had the gastric sleeve on 10/16. My doctor wants his patients to do 3 weeks liquids, 3 weeks soft food, then starting week 7 is normal food. I am 5 days from soft food stage. I however have been struggling to get my protein in because I can't do the protein shakes or powder. I have seriously tried every kind every which way and still have issues. I know some people get to start the soft foods at 2 weeks. If I started early with lunch meat, tuna, retried beans, would that be OK or would it be a big no no. My doc wants me to get 65 grams of protein and its hard to do when I can't do the protein shakes and powder. Right now I'm eating yogurt too try to get some in. The doc approved yogurt, pudding, cream soups on the full liquid diet. Any advice would be appreciated. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

My doctor had me do prenatals because I have a sensitive stomach I haven't had any issues with them. But then again I Haven't had my surgery yet. My doctor wanted me to start the vitamins before surgery so I could get the used to them. Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Well if I wasn't positive about having the sleeve done before I'm definitely going forward with it now. Was having issues with my blood pressure so I went to the doctor. I have also had chest pain since 2008 and I brought that up to my doctor. He sent me to the cardiologist which I figured that nothing would come of that. my chest pain has always been assumed as being in indigestion problem. After my blood pressure started to get higher, having heart palpitations, and chest pain my doctor decided to send me to a cardiologist. I had an echo cardiogram 2 weeks ago. They called me back for a follow up. I still thought nothing of it. Just thought maybe that they were going to tell me that I had a heart arrhythmia. Come to find out there's damage to both my left and right side of my heart. The left is because of being overweight and because of the high blood pressure but the right side is because a pulmonary as she is. The cardiologist said it was really important that I have the weight loss surgery. After I've lost 50 to a 100 pounds I have to go back in and see if that right side of the heart has improved or got worse. If it's got worse than its not weight related. I'm so scared.
