Hi:

You should probably call your doctor. It's probably nothing, but you should make sure because your heart is so important!

Let us know how you're doing.

It is probably nothing.....but, just in case, call your doctor. That kind of thing can make you crazy and will make flutters worse if you stress out about it.

Please call your doctor, If you get the service he/she will call you back. I would not be scared but it could be a reaction to something.

PLease call now

I have a heart murmor and forgot about it till I was in my forties. Now, I am careful

I think your murmor is your heart thanking you for getting banded.

Are you having the correct amount of H2O

call the doctor and enjoy the awards tonight...I am looking for the dress that I will wear when I get to my healthy ideal weight

I was banded on the 14th and I have the heart flutters too. It just comes and goes. I just figured it was normal!? I will check with my doctor if it continues in a few more days.

CAVEAT: I am not a medical doctor!

I have had heart fluttering all my life. I've been tested for all sorts of heart things with nothing wrong.

Mine usually happen when I am starving and when I am really anxious. So when it happens, being anxious makes it worse. My doctor believes its an electrolyte thing so usually it's time for food and drink and Vitamins. Without fail, after a snack or meal, it's like it never happened.

You should have it checked out but try not to worry too much.

Oh. And one more thing...

When I get a stitch in my side, it's a dehydration thing. That's what the MD said and I thought she was totally wrong. So when I get it, I push down Water. You know what? It works. I guess that medical degree and students loans paid off! tongue.png

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
