Will a diagnosis of tachacardya (sp?) stip me from having my surgery?



Recommended Posts

Went to the cardiologist for clearance a d after all tests he said I have tachacardya. I knew my heartbeat was faster then normal (resting hb is around 115 bpm), but I didn't know it was a problem. The doctor seemed pretty troubled by it and asked when my surgery was (I just started my 6 month waiting period). When I asked about my sleeve surgery, he wouldn't give me a clear answer. Yesterday, he set me up with one of those heart monitors to wear for 24 hours and He ordered a stress test in 4 weeks, and the to come back to the office 2 weeks after.

Anyone have to deal with this? Did it affect your sleeve surgery?

Oh, and sorry for typos.. I'm trying to cook dinner and wrangle two kids! Lol

my heart rate was extremely high the day I had my ekg done - I was extremely nervous. for me, they let me set for a while, talked to be about other stuff and ran the strip again. it was still elevated but it dipped below 100 bpm

But mine isn't nerves.. It's just how I am all the time. They even put me in the cardiac unit after I had both my kids because it would never go below 110.

Nope. And I've had it even before I was overweight. It doesn't affect me. I need have any symptoms.

hmm I would imagine you can still have surgery with no problem, they may want you medicated for it though

i too was diagnosed with tachycardia. i had to wear a holter monitor for 30 days for palpitations. and it was determined that i had pcv's and periods of tachycardia. mine was mainly due to anxiety and sometimes it would happen with exertion. but i was sleeved 12/10 and it was never an issue. and the monitor was unrelated to the sleeve. i was complaining to my pcp about the palps and he ordered the holter.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
