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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
