Abnormal Ekg

[msinnapa 2]

Ugh...my surgery is scheduled for august 28th and I just had an ekg done and it came back abnormal -t wave abnormality consider interior and anterior ischemia. I just hope that I can still move forward with surgery! Anybody have any advice on this. I'm waiting to hear back from the surgeon.

Take it easy my ekg came back abnormal and then they did a stress test and I was ok... hopefully the heart doctort will clear you is up to him!!!!.

• msinnapa I'm with you on this!!

I have to get a heart monitor next week and wear it for 48 hours and then because the local cardiologist will be out of town for a week I have to wait until Aug 14th for the stress test... then wait until the 20th for my appointment with the cardiologist... sigh... hurry up and wait seems to be par for the course!!! My surgeon for the sleeve is 6 hrs away so most of my interaction is through email at the moment. I sent the nurse this info about the cardiologist yesterday (I'll probably hear back Monday) so I don't know if this affects anything yet? I don't have a surgery date yet anyway, waiting for the approval paperwork back from insurance (I was told verbally yesterday that I have been approved --- yaaaaayyy). LOL patience is NOT my strong suit... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!! Steph

Good luck I had to do a stress test passed with an 86 that was good considering my ekg was abnormal and I was freaking out. Make sure you stay on top of the doctor visits because I did my stress test passed and my surgeon called that they didnt clear me and it was over 2 months.....I was always calling and making sure they had everything ....

Thanks!! I heard back from the surgeon and they said that they would just talk to me at my pre-op appt on the 6th. So I guess they aren't too concerned with it. But of luck to you! Hope you get your surgery date soon!
