Alfie 58 Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) I just had my sleeve done on Tuesday December 9. They are making me stay here for 2 reasons. First I am vomiting up Water which is all I've had thus far. I had to take the swallow test 2x because I was too swollen for it to go through on Wednesday. Today I passed it. I'll mention that I am a band to sleeve revision Second, I am now in atrial fibrillation. I have the kind that comes rarely. I'm not typically in a fib. The last time I had a fib episode was in October of 2013. This current time was because they dropped the ball on my meds. I did bring them with me but they wouldn't let me take them. I guess in this part I'm just venting because now tomorrow morning they want to shock me back into normal rhythm. I'm kind of upset because I was asking them for meds to the point I was getting very aggravated. I began to get a bit irate and asked them. Don't you know I could have a stroke? It was very unsettling and I am going to make a formal complaint. They all just sat around saying "ok ok we'll call your doctor." Ok enough of that. So my main advise I want to give is to make sure the hospital you are going to has something in place for you even if it's not the exact meds you take just so you won't have to go through what I am going through. It was horrifying. Yes I'm still in a fib today but yesterday I was reaching almost 200 beats a minute. Today it's still very irregular. But much slower. I was finally able to insist on my meds which my doc said I could swallow with 1 sip of water. It's a slippery slope because an hour or so after I take them I vomit. Just hope some of them are going into my bloodstream. Now for my main question. Did anyone else vomit even after passing the swallow test? I'm drinking tiny sips and about an hour later it comes up. Other than that I have not much pain or gas. This has been happening all day today Edited December 12, 2014 by Alfie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4me4them 381 Posted December 12, 2014 OMG I am so sorry for you. I was sleeved on the 3rd of December and slipped into atrial fibrillation as well. Totally feel your frustration at being a bariatric patient with cardiac complications (my heart rate pegged at 200 every time I got out of bed). 4 days after starting afib I converted back to normal rhythm. Hang in there....I can't answer the vomiting question as I only did it a couple of times...although one was after the swallow test. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
