Dr. Thinks I have Prinzmetal's angina atype of resting angina. reg. stress test in Nov was fine but I could only walk/run the treadmill 3 1/2 min. My friend who had gastric surgery had to have a colonoscopy.Are some of these tests common? any other test I might have to have presurgery?

Hi, I was chosen (1of 25 out of 76 possible) for covered surgery in Calgary. Surgery date mid July. I am so excited but also not really sure what all the steps will be. I have been doing the weight loss course online up til now and now will need to go in weekly for maintenance classes, presurgery etc. I'll sure be looking to you all to know what will happen.
