WLS and PVCS

[ZizerZazerZuz 3]

Hi. I’m new here. I just started the process to get sleeved, and I have 6 months of protocol I have to follow (per my insurance) before I can get it done. My question at the moment is, have any of you experienced frequent premature ventricular contractions at the time of surgery? I’ve been suffering thousands a day for the last 4 months, and scared about whether it will affect my safety during surgery. So far my doctors are calling my condition begning, but I haven’t asked my cardiologist for their all clear for WLS yet, which I have to have per my bariatric surgeon.

If you are concerned for your health and safety - Ask your bariatric surgeon and your cardiologist.

I do plan to ask my cardiologist, which is why I said “ I haven’t asked my cardiologist...yet”. I was asking if anyone else here has had any personal experience with a situation similar to mine. I see you have not, but thanks for your input.
