hey jessica(uniqueladybug) thanks for updating i was just about to!

I finally converted to regular rhythm again after 48 hours of controlled rate fib. I posted a long dissertation on my blog about the situation. But the short version is I went into fib again thursday night just in time for my scheduled redo of my cardiac clearence. I went for the appt friday morning still in fib but with the new medicine I have a slower rate and am able to move around without the raging headache or dizziness. I was indeed in fib and the cardiologist and I had a long talk. He put some of my fears to rest: the main one being that my WLS would be postponed due to the fib and that he would not "clear" for surgery. He said as long as my rate is slow and I am as able as I was right then we were ok for the surgery. people live in constant fib and my bariatric team expects me to go into fib during or after surgery. I am to control my rate with another med and because i am on an anticoagulant (which I must stop 5 days before IVC placement) i will bridge the time from when I get the IVC filter(to prevent clots) til my WLS date about 3 days with lovenox (a shot to anticoagulate me). so we have a plan for any complications due to my heart crap TG i was so worried it would cause me to not be a september member!

Rachel,

Sorry you are going through all this! At least you are bring cleared for surgery! Praying everything goes smooth for you! Can't believe there are almost 30 of us now... Hope you're feeling okay. Have a good night!

My surgery is scheduled for Sept 21, and I started my liquid diet Thursday August 30.

I start the liquid diet on Monday. Nervous and excited.

How's the liquid diet going for you? What does it consist of?

I'm on day 6 of liquid pre op diet. Not easy, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Chicken Boullion has become my best friend. It's good n salty and feels like real food going down! We can do this! One day at a time, right?! We've come too far and are too close now to let anything stop us! :-)
