Anyone here from CA? Kern County area? I'm waiting to hear from Kern Family Health. Dont know their time frame. It's going on 2 weeks only, but the waiting is difficult.

Feeling very stressed. Apparently my EKG was abnormal. Being referred to a cardiologist. This has been my fear all along. That I would be disqualified for surgery by one of these many tests. Anyone have this happen and turn out okay?

I also had an abnormal EKG. Had a nuclear stress test and everything was fine. It's good to know information either way. It's also comforting to know some programs are thorough and careful! Good luck. It was an easy test!

Zoeyg1958 just wondering how long you have been waiting for approval. So far for me its been two weeks.

I had an abnormal EKG, I was referred to a Cardio. I had a stress and ultrasound. The Doc diagnosed a "silent" heart attack. He couldn't pinpoint when though. But he cleared me for surgery. I am 58 4'11 and weigh 300 pounds. I really need this surgery. I am waiting for approval as I write this. I wouldn't worry till there's someting to worry about.

Hello, I am in CA and had my first surgeon appt yesterday, so they sent my file in, I am hoping for a quick approval also. I have Kern Family Health and the nurse said they were pretty good about sending positive approval. Good luck for us all.

I am waiting for approval for my surgery. I came here for some idea of what to expect, but I must say that it's wonderful reading so many positive messages.
