Just got diagnosed with AFIB and the doctors are pushing Warfarin at the VA where I get treatment. Anybody out there that's been sleeved been put on Warfarin and what side effects did you have and what initial dosage? Any other meds available that people are on? I'm a little worried on any of the meds and I've got zero symptoms--no pains, nothing...

Appreciate the replies and encouragement!

Had gastric sleeve surgery 11-29-2016. Went from 398 lb, down to 210. I'm currently 250 and it was what I called "covid" pounds because of staying home and eating small meals but too frequently during the day. Has anyone else had these weight gain issues and how did you address it?

Thanks so much. I am getting a CT Scan and an echocardiogram next week and a pulmonary function test and then meeting with 3 cardiologists, so I'll have a better idea of what I need. My primary care physician(I'm a Veteran) had no info on sleeved patients and did not want to start me on anything until he consulted others.

Had gastric sleeve surgery 4 years ago. I've just been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and doctors want to put me on Warfarin or similar blood thinners but they have no dats on how the stomach can absorb these drugs. Anyone have a similar experience and what was the outcome? Please help. Thanks!
