Wishing y'all a safe and smooth surgery and recovery experience. You will have some ups and downs but in the end you will be glad you did it! Good luck and best wishes!

Thank you soooo very much! Mine is scheduled for the 13th....the countdown is on!!! So ready to start my new journey!!!

Thanks for the support! Lord knows I need it!

Thanks for your support. Everyone please pray for me. My surgery date is 9/6 and I just found out today that my EKG was abnormal. I've had stress tests in the past and no problems ever. I am praying this won't delay my surgery. I've been on the pre-op diet now 9 days and am ready to be on the other side.

Thank you so much for the well wishes mamamckenzie.

TexasGal, I will be praying for you!

Thank you, I don't even know what to do with myself right now. I hope all the other September sleevers are getting ready!

Good luck. I can't wait to hear your success story. My surgery is 9/6 and I am so ready. I'm sure I won't sleep a wink the night before.

Thank you, I don't even know what to do with myself right now. I hope all the other September sleevers are getting ready!

Wishing you all the best! I'm guessing your not sleeping well at this point, I don't think I will be able to sleep at all next week. I hope you have a healthy and speedy recovery.

Thanks ladies! Good luck on the pre-op diets.

I also received a call yesterday telling me my EKG was abnormal just five days before my scheduled 9/6 self-pay surgery in Dallas. I've never had an abnormal EKG so I was floored and made arrangements to have it re-done immediately...this time at a cardiologist's office. So glad I did because I just received a call a few minutes ago from the cardiologist and my EKG is fine. Appears the first reading was incorrect so I'm glad I had the test re-done. These tests are so often misinterpreted if not read by a specialist and jumping straight in to a battery of cardiac tests didn't seem plausible to me. I was able to get right in to my Mother's cardiologist so I didn't burn valuable time had I needed to go ahead with the full range of tests which they could also have done. Simply retaking the EKG was certainly the way to go. My surgery is scheduled for next Tuesday and I was not looking forward to postponing. Wheww.

PS...I'm not a doctor but I recommend re-taking the 5 minute EKG anytime there is a question arising from only one prior test.

My first test was done at Forest Park Surgical Center....was yours done there, as well?
