ECHOCARDIOGRAM now needed after ekg this morning
She didn't say. Just said that after getting my ekg back surgeon wants me to Have the echo. I guess im mostly stressed about time, being that everything has taken so long just to get scheduled. Hoping perhaps the drs office can work their magic with cardiology and get me in soon.

ECHOCARDIOGRAM now needed after ekg this morning
Surgery scheduled 12/14/15.im 39, healthy besides being 288 pounds. I had kidney stone surgery in march, Surely i would have known by now if something is wrong with my heart. Im just scared that after all this work they are going to reschedule. Cancel. Whatever. I've put in a lot of time and work into this and i know im healthy. Did anyone else have this problem so close to surgery and were you able to get your surgery as scheduled? Thanks in advance. I'm trippin. Im looking forward to my brand new start and as of this morning thought all my pre op stuff was done. Grrr. Another bump in the road. Im sayin my prayers.
