ECHOCARDIOGRAM now needed after ekg this morning

[Amy Wolfe 49]

Surgery scheduled 12/14/15.im 39, healthy besides being 288 pounds. I had kidney stone surgery in march, Surely i would have known by now if something is wrong with my heart. Im just scared that after all this work they are going to reschedule. Cancel. Whatever. I've put in a lot of time and work into this and i know im healthy. Did anyone else have this problem so close to surgery and were you able to get your surgery as scheduled? Thanks in advance. I'm trippin. Im looking forward to my brand new start and as of this morning thought all my pre op stuff was done. Grrr. Another bump in the road. Im sayin my prayers.

What was the problem with your EKG? I have A-fib and it didn't impact my surgery.

[Amy Wolfe 49]

She didn't say. Just said that after getting my ekg back surgeon wants me to Have the echo. I guess im mostly stressed about time, being that everything has taken so long just to get scheduled. Hoping perhaps the drs office can work their magic with cardiology and get me in soon.

I had to have an echo after my ekg. They said my pulse was very fast so they wanted to check it out. My surgeon said that because this is basically elective surgery they check everything

I wouldn't be too concerned About them cancelling. If there is something wrong (fingers crossed you're okay) they just may bring in a cardio team to monitor as well during the surgery.

Thank you so much ladies. Im pretty sure it was from my high pulse as well. Thank you. I shall find out more today.

Hi I'm nearly 9 months post op sleeve this happened to me too I have AFib and I have to take meds for it I'm fine I had my surgery there wasn't an issue they are just covering their ass if u even have a minor issue and anything happens during surgery they don't want law suits increase in malpractice insurance or to screw up their statistics so try to calm down and wait to hear what's going on where I went it seemed standard for them to check for heart conditions as many ppl have them and don't know or haven't been diagnosed best of luck

Thank you. It's scheduled for dec 2nd. So far, pre op on 11 30 hasn't been changed or pre op 3 hour class on Dec 2nd. Do im pretty positive things should stay as planned. Excited, nervous, and scared. But ready.
