  1. I know this sounds crazy, but, I had my gall bladder removed in 2013 and my ekg and everything came back normal. When it came time for me to have all my testing down for the sleeve, the tests started showing abnormalities. I have good, kinda low b/p. Tuesday when I went for registration and labs, it was 97/62. I don't have diabetes, the only medication I'm on is birth control and synthroid for my thyroid. I am confused as to how my heart was normal last year and is enlarged this year. I haven't seen a cardiologist because no one had made me aware of this situation, until the anesthesiologist was concerned yesterday. I know that obesity will cause the heart to work harder so I guess now, I have to wait test results, and go from there on Monday. I just feel that I've been through so much the past few months to get approval and ready for the sleeve, and now two days out from surgery, something else has came up.
  2. Hi guys, of course I have jumped through tons of hoops and loops over the past few months. I went and had my chest x-ray done and was sent for an echo. I did the echo probably over two months ago and have surgery scheduled for this coming Tues. I went to pre-op this past tues and pre-registered as well. I received a phone call yesterday around 3 pm saying that I needed to be at the hospital Mon morning for a ct. They say that my echo showed an enlarged heart and something about the right ventricle. My surgeon has looked at the echo twice and was comfortable with the surgery, however, the anesthesiologist is refusing unless the ct is performed Mon and he is able to be there and look at the test. I'm worried now that I can't have the surgery and if they do go ahead with it, am I at a higher risk. Has anyone else had this problem?
