Abnormal EKG results



Recommended Posts

So, I had my EKG done on Friday and my PCP said it was 'abnormal'. Something about the t waves???? I am seeing the cardiologist on the 22nd. Does anyone know what I should expect?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

My EKG was Abnormal but I passed the stress test and had the surgery. The nurse said she always has abnormal EKG and it's nothing to worry about.

My EKG was abnormal as well. PCP sent me in for a Nuclear stress test (which isn't bad at all) and everything was fine, surgery is on Friday! The cardiologist said females are more prone to abnormal EKG's which are actually normal for them. If you aren't having any chest pain, I wouldn't worry about it at all. Good luck!

I'm so glad this post is here.

My EKG had upsidedown t waves too. I had my preop with the banding surgeon yesterday and mentioned this to him. His reply was that my pcp thought it was fine so not to worry. My pcp is an internist

so no worries. I'm glad to hear that womens EKG can be like that

day 2 of pre op diet

banding on 12/30

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
