Amanda, hope you are feeling better today. Please make sure you have a consult with a cardiologist as soon as you can (or follow up with yours if you already have one). I'm not trying to scare you, but I am in medical communications, and I am writing an article right now on AFib and stroke risk (1 in 7 strokes are precipitated by an episode of AFib). It's not an issue as long as you can control the AFib, which can be done under a qualified cardiologist's care using rhythm control drugs or another approach that your cardiologist deems appropriate.

Take good care. Wishing you all the best.

Wonderful news, but like Tes posted, please see a cardiologist as soon as you can. You want to be healthy enough to show your new body off soon! Take care Amanda!

Thank you for the suggestion... I do have a cardiologist and i plan to do a follow up right away! I'm happy to report I'm back in sinus rhythm and was given blood thinners and a dose of metoprolol..

Fortunately the a-fib was a temporary event. It happened once b4 two years ago.

Amanda, I'm sorry that we weren't able to continue our adventure back to San Diego together. However I feel blessed to have met you and can't wait for our results to start showing. I'm glad Dr. Campos was fast and efficient with you that night and that all is well for you! I'm sure your probably just arriving home, so good luck to you, enjoy your family and I hope to chat with you soon.

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers. Unfortunately the second leg of my journey was an event, but I believe all the prayers and support helped keep my mom and I strong...

My heart started acting up right b4 takeoff. Had to stop take off and was taken to University Hospital in Aurora, CO. I've been released and I hoping and praying that we make it home today safe and healthy.

      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
