Surgery Monday Ekg Abnormal



Recommended Posts

My surgery is on monday and i got a call from my doctor today saying that my ekg was abnormal. I had that done 2 hours after having the egd last Monday. I have never had a problem with my heart and i was ok enough for them to put me to sleep last week. Absolutely terrified they are going to cancel my surgery. Has this happened to anyone else before

Yes, my EKG came back abnormal and I was terrified also. At my pre-op appointment he sent me that same day to a cardiologist to have another one done. That one came back fine. The cardiologist also looked at the first one and said it was not very bad. He went over the risk factors with me and said I was approved for surgery.

I think the surgeons are just very cautious to cover their butts in case something happens. My dad died of a massive heart attack at age 51 so my surgeon said that concerned him and he just wanted to be sure. He said they usually check out okay. My surgery was already scheduled and he said he was leaving it like it was unless he heard a negative from the cardiologist. I knew when I left the cardiologist that I was cleared. So at least you probably won't have to wait to find out after your appointment tomorrow.

I had that happen just a few weeks ago. They called me in to have a second one done before they cleared me for my surgery on 12/17. Wait for the second set of tests to see what they say.Keep positive thoughts!

Good Luck, Hanners!

For others, I was GOING to say, remember if it is cancelled or postponed for a heart concern, it's for your own safety.

It's like when the airplane is delayed for a mechanical issue. I always think, "take your time and make sure it's right... I'd rather get there late than not at all!"

      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.
