ok, yes my BFF had that one....I did research the nuclear test and it said that...they either give you shot to increase the heart rate or give you a shot to "dilate the arteries"....I'm going to find out tomorrow exactly which test I had!!!! Will you be having the surgery? Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I thought I had the nuclear test (injecting me with dye, scanned, treadmill, dye (again).??? However, my cardiologist explained to me BEFORE the test that he DID NOT want me to do the treadmill because I'm big-breasted and it would only give a negative reading....but, they put me on the treadmill anyway.???? Cardiac catherization being scheduled ASAP!..I'm 44 years old, morbidly obesed, Lord knows I need this surgery to LIVE!..I have the faith of a mustard seed! I will get through this!

Hello, I'm Susann from Michigan. It depends on the insurance you have...I have blue cross/blue shield (If BMI is >50, there is no waiting period) so, I Googled "bariatric surgery" near me. It showed Beaumont Hospital/Royal Oak. I had a center near my house. I went to a seminar...then, my first visit ($200 upfront )and have been moving toward my goal since September. However, my BFF has "HAP" insurance and they required her to get an approval just to attend the seminar. ***Definitely call your insurance FIRST... Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App
