Stress test 1 year post op

[OkieDokieNawan 2]

I had done the stress test to get cleared to have gastric sleeve but I was wondering if anyone also had to do a stress test 1 year post op.

Just got a call to schedule one but I never heard my doc say I’d needed to do it.

I still have follow up visits and bloodwork etc. Just wasn’t sure if the stress test was required or an optional thing.

Surgery went great. Was done Feb 17th 2022 and I’ve lost 222 pounds to date.

I just had to do one before surgery - I've never been told that I needed one afterward. Were there issues with your first one?

Depending on age, risk factors, cardiovascular health, and doctor discretion stress tests are ideal. They let your doctor know if there’s further issues that need to be addressed with more invasive procedures.

I wouldn’t worry about it too much.

No issues at all. Doc was very impressed with my progress and all my other follow up tests have been good.

You can always ring your surgeon & ask but it may be interesting to do it & then compare before and after results.
