Sherri297 81 Posted September 4, 2012 Hi all, I'm tenatively scheduled for Dr's. Lopez and Osuna on October 8th also. I had a heart attack at age 46 (4years ago), plus diabetes, so Dr. Lopez wants an echocardiogram done before he will give me final approval for surgery. I'm praying that it turns out okay, I need to have this surgery, But the fact that he does want additional testing is also reassuring. I"ve been lurking around this forum for a couple of weeks now, what a wonderful supportive place, I've learned sooo much from all of you, Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stickks 19 Posted September 4, 2012 Well you should be ok. We are starting our pre op diet on wed. Kinda nervous as its a drastic step down from what we have been eating, but its all for good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stickks 19 Posted September 4, 2012 I had a hopspital stay last year due to light headedness, but they could not find anything wrong. Did all the tests, nothing. I do have high bp, but I am assuming that isnt a problem for getting the surgery. I have been taking meds for it, but its been so up and down. Surgery couldnt come sooner!
