Well they just did a barium swallow and didn't find a leak. They are discharging me. I'm hoping its just an isolated incident! I was sure glad to hear they didn't find a leak or a blood clot though! Trip to Arizona is still on for now. That's great news because I wasn't looking forward to telling my 8 and 10 year old girls that daddy ruined spring break.

Glad all is good. Just take it easy. And very proud of you for taking precautions by going to the hospital. Better safe than sorry.

Hey if your driving to the canyon be sure to stop at least ever one to two hours get out and walk for a few minutes then go again. Be safe!!

We're flying to Phoenix and then driving from there. Thanks for the reminder though. It's about a 4 hour drive so we'll be sure to make a few stops.

I thought dumping syndrome was only with bypass surgery. One of the reasons I chose the sleeve was to avoid dumping syndrome.

Thoughts?

Have a wonderful trip. I am glad it turned out to be nothing.

I spent the morning in the ER too.

Not all sleeve patients suffer from dumping. But some do very much so. If I eat too fast or have something with way too much sugar I suffer indefinitely.

I get the heart racing thing once in a while since surgery. I did read something about reactive hypoglycemia that might be my cause. It's supposed to be more common in those that have stomach surgery, especially weight loss surgery. It would make sense since the heart rate increase is usually a little while after I eat and causes many of the symptoms mention here.

Are you ok?

[It'sNowOrNever 99]

Yes. I am ok too. I was afraid my chest pain was a pulmonary embolism. Lots if tests. CR scan. Blood work. Ekgs. No diagnosis but not PE.

I saw that the weather is fantastic right now. We're looking forward to getting some Vitamin D that isn't in a pill form! We're flying out tonight and staying overnight in Phoenix and then driving tomorrow. Anywhere we should stop along the way to see some great scenery?
