I had my consult today with my surgeon who said I . He said I am a candidate for the LAP-BAND®® surgery. He is concerned about how high my BP is so I need to have a cardiac clearance done. He said no anesthesiologist would put me under with my high BP. Any one else have issues with high blood pressure or cardiac clearance? What can I expect? I know my weight is not helping my BP....but I guess I wasn't thinking that it could also hold up the process.:thumbup: Carol
