Anyone have their heart on the wrong side? Literally !?

I went to my medical clearance appt confident I was going to be cleared, when I was informed that I have dextrocardia ( my heart it in the right side of my body instead if the left side like everyone else) . I'm 28 yrs old and never knew . The doctor informed me the cardiologist must clear me first . I was hoping to have my sleeve date but I guess not anytime soon :-( .

Wow! I have never heard of that but I suppose it makes sense as a possibility. I am not a medical professional, but as long as your heart is healthy, this anomaly should not keep you from having surgery. The cardiologist just needs to check that out, I imagine.

Let us know what happens. I'm praying you have nothing to worry about.

My son has that. His cardiologist says our hearts our on the right side in utero and the turn over to the left side as we grow. My sons did not turn all the way so his is in the center. He is healthy and gets an EKG every few years just to check.
