My heart function is around 35% and I have an ICD ( like a pacemaker) and I will be having gastric sleeve next month. I've had a c section and lapband removal with this low heart function and I did fine. I did have to have a special IV placed in my wrist (arterial line) just so they could monitor my BP very closely, but you may not need this. You should be just fine. Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
