I think it is at least. I've never had an abnormal one before. My only medical condition is asthma. Here's a quick picture I took of the readout before I dropped it off to my surgeon. Anyone have any experience with this or thoughts? Anything that has to do with my heart really freaks me out.

*Edit* I had to delete the attached photo, but it says;

Normal Sinus rhythm

Right axis deviation

Nonspecific ST and T wave abnormal

Abnormal ECG.

I've seen this before, they'll probably want to do more tests. Doesn't mean you won't get approved, they'll just try to manage if you do have a heart condition.

I didn't have any problems with it, but my husband had surgery on his leg and he had to have an EKG done, the anesthesiologist wanted to see the readout before she would sign off during his pre-admin appt, so I'm not sure if the surgeon would stop it or if it has more to do with that.

I've done a lot of searching on the internet, there isn't much - but my asthma could be a factor with the right axis deviation. With the ST and T waves, my anxiety could have been a factor or the leads were simply placed wrong by the tech. I haven't got a call from my surgeon, he called me the day my labs came back with low Iron showing, so I guess I'm not dying ( I hope) but still freaks me out lol

I had a false positive on my EKG and cardiologist retested me and said I was fine. Course I was out the money to see the cardiologist.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
