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.

      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.
