I had my surgery on March 11th. Until tonight I have been feeling fantastic. Eating and drinking well. Walking 2-3 miles per day.

Today when I was walking I got a sharp pain under my big incision on my right side. I slowed down and it changed to a full ache. I took it easy for the rest of the walk. It still ached when I got home so I took some of my liquid pain meds. That did the trick. I ate dinner without any issues.

I work nights so I went to work at 9pm. I was feeling fine, and at 12:30 I drank a Protein shake. Shortly after I started sweating and my heart was pounding. I took my pulse and it was 120 bpm. After half hour it settled down to 80. Through the rest of the night I had no appetite which hasn't happened to me since surgery day. I had some discomfort in my left shoulder and in my back

A couple hours later my heart rate went back up to 110 bpm and has been there for an hour or so. I called my surgeon when I got off at 5:30 And he suggested I go to the ER. So here I sit hoping and praying it isn't a leak. Please send positive thoughts my way.

That's great news.. Enjoy your vacation, soak up the sun and congrats on the weight loss

When I have dumping my heart rate jumps for about 20 mins and I'm shaky. Sometimes I hve loose bowels and sometimes I just have nausea.

Me too. I have got to eat learn to eat "s l o w e rrrr."

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?

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?
