Well, no sooner than I had posted that I was ok all HELL broke loose and I ended up being rushed by ambulance back to Emory Crawford Long with SEVERE chest pains. I had 3 "mini heart attacks" in the ambulance and boy, was THAT ever painful. When I got there they discovered that not only did my pacemaker need to be adjusted but I had also built up fluid around my heart that was basically acting like a conductor to the "misfires". This heart thing is no joke I am here to tell ya SOOOOOOOOO pleeeeeease go in and have your heart checked out...get an EKG and an echocardiogram just to be sure. My doctors have been kinda wishy-washy on the cause so now I am on a mission to make sure you are all ok too. When I ask them if it could be related to the WLS or rapid weight loss they kinda blow off the question so I would like to encourage you all to just be on the safe side and at least get checked out. Better to be sure than to go through what I have been through. Anyway...spent a couple of days there and now I am back home....think I am actually going to make it this time *lol*. Love y'all, Shree

No, I don't feel anything NOW...before they made the adjustments I could feel my heart racing all the way up into my head...it was horrible. Now, I don't feel anything so I guess they finally got it right. Been taking it easy though...not sure what it will feel like when I work out or get my heart rate up....will let ya know when I get to that point *lol*
