Last Clearance Before Pre-Op Appt

[tlbr8408 20]

Just wondering if there is anyone out there who needed clearance from a cardiologist due to an anterior ischemia... my doc didnt say too much about what it is and if it would mean i was not able to have the surgery...just called and said i needed further clearance... i really want to have my surgery before January 1 because of insurance purposes... wondering if anyone else had to go through this?? thanks!

I had to have clearance from a cardiologist and pulmonologist

Initial EKG showed history of inferior infarct - what?? Then it was determined to be bad lead placement & not a true problem. Big boobs can result in bad lead placement from what I learned.

Me too! I had a nuclear stress test on Wednesday and need to follow up on blood work from my Hematologist. Surgeon ok'd the surgery pending my cardiac clearance & blood work. I'm thinking if everything is ok, surgery will be in January. Good luck to you!

my ekg placement casued a false positive fore an infraction in the past. But I had already had a heart stress test so they knew it was nothing. Hopeully yours is something similar.

Congrats!!! Usually they submit to insurance for approval before scheduling a date.
