Good Morning!!

I'm supposed to be banded on 7/20/12. Went and had my pre-op testing done on Monday, no problem. Went to my pre-op appointment with my surgeon to find out I had a abnormal EKG and a UTI. Had no clue about that. So now this need to be taken care of before I get medical clearance. Did this happen to any of you?

Your input is greatly appreciated!!

The day I went in for surgery the nurse was like did you know you had a UTI... I said no!!!! they put me on a bag of antibiotics and sent me home with a prescription antibiotic to finish!!

I was banded on July 10. Went for pretest was told I had an abnormal ekg. Went two days later and had stress test everything was fine. They said next ekg would probably be abnormal to

I also had an abnormal EKG and had to have a stress test and echocardiogram in order to get clearance for surgery. Both tests came back normal and I had surgery as scheduled. Apparently, it's quite common to have an abnormal EKG.

HI! Having surgery on July 24, 2012. My regular MD did my first EKG at her office and it came back abnormal, I had to have a Cardio clearance also so we had him repeat it and it came back normal. Good Luck with everything

Did u have the surgery that day or did they delay due to the uti?

I had an abnormal EKG, then and abnormal PET (cardiac stress) test, which then lead to a heart catheter... in the end I received the "ALL CLEAR" and had lap band surgery but WHEW that was a lot of extra testing ~ good luck ~
