    Cost of Surgery

    I'm having my surgery on Monday 3/18 in Newport Beach, Ca. Self pay cash price $17k
  5. Whooooohoooo! I'm ready;0) I'm REALLY struggling with the diet. Am I alone? I've got the devil on one shoulder and the angel on the other. I'm trying sooooo hard to be good. I wish I could fast forward to after the procedure.
  6. I'm one week away and also very nervous/anxious!
  7. Happy Sunday to my fellow March 18 sleevers;0) We are getting closer!!!
  8. I hope not. When my EKG was abnormal the doc sent me to the cardiologist and the cardiologist did another EKG. He then did a stress test, 24 hour monitor and a echocardiogram. The only bother was pushing through the appointments so my surgery date wasn't delayed. My surgery date got pushed back anyways. The Friday before my scheduled Monday surgery the doctors office called to let me know that my surgeon had a bicycle accident. He hurt his shoulder. My surgery got pushed back three weeks;0( whaaaaa

    Lotion on incision sites?

    AmyN did you have the surgery?
  10. During all of my pre op testing my EKG came back abnormal. After several test with the cardiologist they discovered that I have a hole in my heart (heart murmur) and a irregular heart beat which the doctor prescribe medication for (Toprol). I'm not really scared of the procedure itself but terrified that something will go wrong with my heart while under! The cardiologist said the risk is low to moderate, Does anyone else have a similar situation? Please share your thoughts fellow (soon to be ) sleevers.
