I found out today while I was pre-regestering that I've got an enlarged heart. The registration person kept tiptoeing around it to find out if the doctor had seen the echo, I said that she had, mentioned that something was off, but did not seem concerned. I asked what it was that was off and that's when "enlarged heart" was mentioned.

Has anyone else had this and did it cause any problems? Does weight loss and the resulting loss of comorbidities help? Does the heart return to a normal size?

I'm not worried but concerned.

Thanks for any info.

I found out today that my chest xray showed an mildly enlarged heart. I was wondering of this was going to delay surgery? How did your situation turn out?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
