First Setback - Hopefully Nothing

OK. I've been jumping through all the hoops. Did the psych eval, went for the sleep study, got the CPAP machine. Did the pulminology tests and blood tests, had my an ultra sound of my heart and EKG. Everything checked out fine up to that point.

 

THEN today I had a stress test and I was told that my heart was skipping a beat occasionally even at rest before the test. :scared0: They sent me home with a heart monitor for 24 hours. Besides the fact this it's itchy, and I'm ready to rip the connectors off my skin, I'm paranoid that they may find something to deny my sleeve surgery. :thumbup1:

 

Please keep your fingers crossed and say some prayers that there is nothing seriously wrong and that I get the clearance I need from the cardiologist!!

I think this is not uncommon. A lot of people don't even know they have this and its good they can evaluate what kind of conduction problem it is. My daughter and I both have this, (pvc's) and I bet it won't matter at all with having your surgery.

Most people with PVC's have what is called Functional PVC's and are no big deal. Medicines for this usually include a Beta Blocker ( like Metoprolol ). This is going to be OK.

Thanks for your support and comments. I looked up PVC and must admit that I'm feeling much better now. In most cases, PVC's don't seem to be a big problem. The cardiologist will let me know by Friday what they found.

I just dont know what to think anymore...major anxiety over whether I should even do this sleeve surgery. I literally am thinking I will have a complication that will kill me. I know the dark side of bariatric surgery because i am a nurse and a have seen alot of the complications. how can I get this out of my mind and do it... I need it!

Still no news. The cardiologist was supposed to read the information from the monitor on Friday, but he was called to the hospital for an emergency. They are supposed to get back to me on Monday.
