Anyone banded that has irregular heartbeat?

[kristallynn13 18]

So I am in the early stages of my journey for lap-band surgery. I have my 1st surgeon appointment June 30. I have had problems with irregular heartbeat most of my life. The doctors say it is caused from a block accessory pathway, basically my heart does not fire right. I haven't had many problems because of this, but I am concerned how surgery will effect me. Also, if I am stressed or fatigued, the irregularity increases. Anyone else out there have the same thing that has already been banded? Tell me what your experience has been. Thanks

I have not been banded yet but I have SVT where my heart rate does the same thing. I am also a little worried because when I am nervous my heart rate goes up. I take a beta blocker and a Calcium channel blocker and I am worried because I heard you can't take pills right after the surgery. I see my surgeon on July 12. I am eager to hear what your surgon says! Good luck.

I also take a beta blockers which controls me very well. There is no way I can go without it. When I have bad flare ups, my heart rate gets into the mid 200's, and will not regulate without medical intervention. I have scheduled an appointment with the cardiologist to get clearance. It has not been a requirement of the surgeon yet, but I am sure it will come up. Good luck!!

They have liquid meds you can take. Or you can crush up pills in powder with Water ask your Dr.
