I too have to medicate before dental work and I got a call for my pre-op tests and get my EKG on Monday. I would rather know before being put under!! The anesthesia person takes good precautions.

I figure its more for their Insurance than anything else. Just another small Detour but will make you even more committed in my opinion. The harder it is to get something the more we treasure it.

Yes, that happened to me. Went to my cardiologist and he said I was low to moderate risk and sent it to Lap Band Dr. and I am scheduled for next Tuesday. My cardiologist said the risk of not having something done was much greater! Hope all goes well.

EKG irregulairites was thought to be "your a big guy"....

GRAND luck!

I didn't have an EKG. It concerns me that everyone else apparently did.

I am having pre op testing on Sept 5 surgery is Sept 10 and no has ever mentioned stress testing to me, nor ekg nor upper gi. I wonder what all he is going to have me do during my pre op testing, now I am worried. I am walker but a stresstest on a tread mill is not the same I have TM at home and it takes everything out of me to use it.Time will tell. I have had a gastro problem since Tuesday and oh my it needs to go away soon my poor belly is in so much pain.
