I finally had my stress test done yesterday! Good news all around....

#1- he said I have an incredibly strong heart muscle & no evidence of plaque or ischemia/etc. He also was shocked that I made it 9 minutes. I'm not sure if that's good or average, but he said he really only expected 3 out of me. (dar...I *told* you I worked out 5x/wk. Did u think I was lying bc I'm almost 300#?!)

this is awesome news as my mother died at age 32 from a massive heart attack & for 20 years now I've been tormented by the worry that I would follow suit.

#2- THIS was my FINAL referral hoop!!!

I (finally) meet with my surgeon on Friday & discuss the info collected from all these referrals (8-? Appts over the last 2 months!) & find out what to expect next....

I have no idea how it will play out. It has been full of changes & twists & turns, so I wouldn't even be surprised if he sends me to see someone else.

Congrats on doing well and having a good heart! Funny how Drs assume larger people don't work out. You showed him...hehe!

Hope you are done with the hoops, keep us posted.

Thanks! I hope so, too!! Lol I'll find out today. I have a follow up/review with the cardiologist this morning, & a follow up/review of referral appts this afternoon with my surgeon. Seems like the appts never end! ;}
