Hi all, I'm two days post op/still in hospital. I'm wondering if any of you also had high heart rate after surgery Breathing is fine, no nausea, no pain, urinating fine, no bleeding, walking fine, not short of breath, literally just have high heart rate. I DO get anxious in hospitals and I am 5'8 and weigh 330 - my weight does play a factor in my heart rate. It's gotten pretty high at times, around 138 but most it's been around 98 - 108. Thoughts??? Should I be worried???

Hi everyone! My name is Amy and I'm new to BariatricPal. I am 23 years old and was part of an obese adolescent study in which I got the lapband at 17 years old. Long story short, it failed and I need to get it out. I've had no problems with the band (just throwing up due to getting stuck quite a bit but never any acid reflux, slippage, leakage, erosion, etc) I have gained 100+ lbs since 2011. I went off to college (college kids are not the healthiest lol) and suffered through the tragic and sudden loss of my sister. I am getting my band to bypass revision surgery at George Washington University Hospital this coming Tuesday on June 13 in one operation with Dr. Joseph Afram. I'm not as nervous as I thought I would be - but definitely want to get the surgery over with and want to come home as soon as possible! I want to power and push through the recovery process - stay positive, full of faith and prayer so that I can start my new life. Any revision experiences, specifically involving Lap Band, I would love to hear!!! This app is inspiring!

Wow! That's incredible. Thank you very much! I'm praying all goes well on Tuesday.
