New poster here, but have been reading for months. I was sleeved this afternoon,12/28. Still inpatient at the hospital, obviously. I've been tolerating ice chips well. I went for my first walk a few hours after the procedure and all was well. I've been sore, but nothing terrible and taking the pain medication through IV.

Getting back into bed from my walk, my RN was assessing my incision sites and I felt sort of like a sharp sudden pain. Now for the last few hours, I've been dealing with tachycardia (my hr went to 170!), palpitations and pain on deep breathing. I've had an ekg and stat X-ray , so I know I'm in the right place for medical answers.

My question for all of you, is, did this resemble any of your gas pains?

Thanks so much for any input.

Uh, NO!

No, I'm sorry it sure doesn't. I'm glad you are in the right place to help get this resolved.

Let us know how you are doing.

I haven't had my sleeve yet but years ago when I had my tubiligation they filled me with gas and it took several days of pain to get that gas worked out of my body. I felt a lot of pain in the chest and shoulder areas from that gas. Do you get upset easily? By that I mean do you think that the pain my be causing anxiety that might be causing the racing heart?

My pain was immediately out of recovery and in my shoulders, never tachycardic. How are you feeling today?

Much better. My labs, X-rays and ekg showed fine, other than being very tachycardic. The tachycardia went away after about 2 hours. It was really scary.

I was put on additional pain medication and that seemed to help. And lots of walking around.

I've had a reaction in the past to stimulant medications and the physician seems to think it might have been that, since that is what they use to wake you up from anesthesia. I had the swallow study this morning and it showed a large GS bubble right under neath my sleeve, so probably a conjunction of things!! It was a long night, for sure.

So glad your doing better!
