    Complications

    Hi, I had my ekg and echocardiogram two weeks ago. I have left ventricle Hypertrophy which is a thickening of the left ventricle. They said it was common with obesity and my case was mild. I can still have surgery.

  15. Hi everyone, I'm pre-op and yesterday I had an EKG and an echocardiogram. I was diagnosed with Left Ventral Hypertrophy, which I've never heard of, so, of course I googled it. It looks like it is fairly common in bariatric patients, but still sounds scary. Has anyone had any experience with this?

    I don't know, I just saw the write up from the cardiologist in my online chart this morning. I will call on Monday. Hope it's not a problem.
