No Sleeve?

ok, so Tuesday I got my abdominal ultrasound, which was the last thing I needed pre-surgery. Or so I thought. I got a cal, this morning saying my EKG was abnormal and I needed to come into my primary doctor's office. She sits me down and tells me that my EKG indicates a heart attack in my past! What?!? I have an emergency cardiologist appointment Friday - thank god my primary was able to get me in - to see if I can go ahead with the sleeve Monday. I don't know which I am more upset about...the heart attack or the possibility of not getting sleeved. Is that weird?

    I hope you will be able to move forward with surgery! They will have to be even more careful during surgery.

    It's not weird, this is a long journey and you have dreams attached to it that make this a very important decision. Heart attacks are scary, but you did not actually experience the trauma of it, so it probably seems unreal. I pray you are healthy enough to have the surgery on time and that it will be a great success!
