Ok so I had my gastric sleeve surgery January 23rd of this year. A week later I was in the hospital because my heart rate was elevated. They thought it was because of the pain. A few days later I started having pain in my left pelvic area, went to the ER and had 2 have emergency surgery 2 remove my left ovary, it had become horses and it was hemmoraghing. So I came home days later and my heart rate shot back up and I felt some pain in my stomach on the right side, so again I go 2 tha ER an found out I had pancreatitis. So again I had 2 have emergency surgery 2 remove my gallbladder. Once I came home this time we noticed that my heart rate was still high even with me resting. It made me dizzy like I wanted to faint. So I went to my cardiologist and he diagnosed me wit Atrial Flutter. Now in 2 more weeks I have to go 2 Pensacola and have a ablation done to my heart 2 get me to a normal beat with my heart. Now all of this could or could not have been a direct result of my sleeve surgery. But I do not regret tha sleeve surgery. The weight is coming off great, but I can't enjoy it fully because of all these other issues. Is anybody else having problems? But here are my results so far :

I myself am ending up with a hysterectomy, so I can relate to things happen that are side effects of the surgery, but not directly related. I guess we are just the lucky ones! I've even needed blood and Iron transfusions because of my female issues so you aren't alone.
On a side note, I had a cardiac ablation in 2001 (my early 20s) and it was the scariest surgery of my life but best thing ever. You have to stay awake and that is no fun. My heart was completely fixed that day (they burned my main conductor) and I've not had a single problem with it since. Hope yours is the same.
I also don't regret this decision! It's changed my life in so many positive ways, ways I couldn't fix myself. Good luck to you and keep us updated on your progress!

      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.
