Yes, I was cleared by cardiologist. Depends what the abnormality is. You may just require a few more tests to see if it's safe to proceed.

Recently I had an irregular ekg reading... has anyone encounter this and if so what was your outcome?

Yes i had the same thing. My cardiologist said false positives are more common among women. I had to go for a coronary heart scan. Everything came back great, and the cardiologist signed my clearance stating the stress test was a false positive.

I had the exact same thing. They were querying an enlarged ventricle, however my echocardiogram was normal. My technician told me false positives for ekg are more frequent of ladies of a certain "stature" by that i assume she meant overweight! It didnt stop me panicking for a month before the echo though!

I went in with 2 irregular PET scans. They said one of 2 things had happened. Either a heart attack or a shadow caused by a bone. I choose to believe the latter.

      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.
