Off the Bandwagon and On the sidelines

I went in yesterday to have the procedure. Everything was going well - the Dr and Anetheologist were joking I was the most healthy of all their patients.

However as the Dr went to make the first incision my heart rate dropped ...they got it back up... he attempted again and my heart stopped for 14seconds ... got it back up and then repeated to involve them having to give me chest compressions.

So now I need to see a cardiologist before we even can think of another try. I am so disappointed.

Definitely was not my first trip on the OR table so the only "new" thing is this blood pressure meds I was put on.

I am so disappointed.

Thank you everyone for your support and I wish you all well on your new life!

Hope that the mystery is cleared up soon and you are cleared to proceed. It's better that you are here though so take care.

How scary!! :o I am so sorry you are delayed but I hope that everything gets fixed so you can be banded!!

Oh Grace,

I'm so sorry. I am glad they stopped though so you wouldn't be in danger.

Be well!
