Heart Palpatations

[erin00glen 9]

As anyone else had heart palpitations after vsg? I'm 12 days post op and have been having palpatations on and off for several days. Going to see the surgeon tomorrow. Went to urgent care tonight, they said I'd be fine for the time being and to talk to the surgeon tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this before.

Erin,

I had heart palpitations and it was that my Potassium was too low. I am 4 mos post op and still take Potassium twice daily. Call your PCP or surgeon and see what your labs were and your levels now. Also dehydration can add to palpitations please make sure you are getting all of your fluids in. SERIOUSLY important to your health and recovery.

Let us know...

They said the heart palp are the sleeve dumping syndrome. It's my bodies way of telling me I just ate sugar. So nothing to worry about. So relieved.
