Newly sleeved...anyone have issues with slow heart rate?



Recommended Posts

So, I have lost a few lbs, and I am 5 weeks out of surgery. I am experiencing a slow heart rate of about 42 while lying flat and 51 while sitting up.

anyone else having this issue??

I think you need to call the surgeon.

Are you on any BP medicine? I take Bystolic for BP and that is one of the side affects.

Before I went for a heart cath last year, I was on metropolol (spelling?)--a beta blocker. Turned out all my heart problems were related to that medicine. It lowered my pulse rate between 32-35 beats a minute, I had chest pains and episodes of nearly passing out. My cardiologist thought I had a blockage. It was due to that medicine. As soon as they took me off of that prescription drug, my heart rate returned to normal and I felt so much better and the chest pains ceased. My heart cath (angiogram) showed no blockages.

If you are not taking any of those heart medicines, recommend you see a doctor ASAP. Or if you're taking any of the medicines, see the doctor anyway---you may need to downsize your dosage or there may be some other underlying problem. A lot of those heart medications including the beta blockers have to be weaned off of to prevent other problems, so please see a doctor before you do anything like stopping your medications.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
