Ok so I had my gastric sleeve surgery January 23rd of this year. A week later I was in the hospital because my heart rate was elevated. They thought it was because of the pain. A few days later I started having pain in my left pelvic area, went to the ER and had 2 have emergency surgery 2 remove my left ovary, it had become horses and it was hemmoraghing. So I came home days later and my heart rate shot back up and I felt some pain in my stomach on the right side, so again I go 2 tha ER an found out I had pancreatitis. So again I had 2 have emergency surgery 2 remove my gallbladder. Once I came home this time we noticed that my heart rate was still high even with me resting. It made me dizzy like I wanted to faint. So I went to my cardiologist and he diagnosed me wit Atrial Flutter. Now in 2 more weeks I have to go 2 Pensacola and have a ablation done to my heart 2 get me to a normal beat with my heart. Now all of this could or could not have been a direct result of my sleeve surgery. But I do not regret tha sleeve surgery. The weight is coming off great, but I can't enjoy it fully because of all these other issues. Is anybody else having problems? But here are my results so far :

I myself am ending up with a hysterectomy, so I can relate to things happen that are side effects of the surgery, but not directly related. I guess we are just the lucky ones! I've even needed blood and Iron transfusions because of my female issues so you aren't alone.
On a side note, I had a cardiac ablation in 2001 (my early 20s) and it was the scariest surgery of my life but best thing ever. You have to stay awake and that is no fun. My heart was completely fixed that day (they burned my main conductor) and I've not had a single problem with it since. Hope yours is the same.
I also don't regret this decision! It's changed my life in so many positive ways, ways I couldn't fix myself. Good luck to you and keep us updated on your progress!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
