I just went for my first visit and found out I have an abnormal EKG. Now I have to go to my DR and hopefully get a normal test. If not I have to go to a cardioligist. I am just trying to get this done and now this-more delays. Anyone else have this trouble? I am using True Results in Housto, TX.

Sandy, stay positive. Hopefully this is just a speed bump in your path and not a road block. For the doctor's protection, and your safety, it's best to make sure that you are ok.

Now, I have my initial consultation at True Results here in Houston tomorrow. So, if I'm on here complaining about something tomorrow, remind me of what I just told you! ;)

i had an abnormal EKG last wednesday and my surgery is scheduled for next wednesday (3/9). so this week, i was referred to the cardiologist. on tuesday, they did another EKG (fine) and ultrasound (fine), but scheduled me for a stress test so that they could grant me cardiac clearance for surgery. did my stress test today and will hopefully have the results back by monday at the latest. hopefully everything will be a go and there will be no delay.

i understand how frustrating it is (TRUST ME: I'M FRUSTRATED angry.gif). it's especially upsetting when you think you're past your final hurdle - six months of dieting, doctor's appointments, psychiatric evaluations, sleep studies, blood work, blah blah blah. can't really recommend anything other than to remain calm and keep a positive outlook.

good luck, sandy! hope all goes well!

Hopefully this is just a minor speed bump and everything will turn out fine. I hurdled many of them on my journey and it was frustrating but I got over them, as will you! Good luck.

I went to my primary care doctor and had another EKG. The very same result. So now I have to go to a cardiologist. Trouble is the first available appointment is march 25th!!! WTH.... this is my heart health.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
