Can anyone tell me if this issue of Anterior Ischemia was a threat to not having the surgery?

Myocardial ischemia occurs when blood flow to your heart muscle is decreased by a partial or complete blockage of your heart's arteries (coronary arteries). The decrease in blood flow reduces your heart's oxygen supply.


Myocardial ischemia, also called cardiac ischemia, can damage your heart muscle, reducing its ability to pump efficiently. A sudden, severe blockage of a coronary artery may lead to a heart attack.


Off hand, although I am not an expert, I suspect the answer might be yes. One of the individuals in my support group had made it through the pre-op tests and had a surgery date scheduled. He received a call from the surgeon to check into the hospital immediately for a heart operation. He had the heart surgery performed. About a month or two later after he recovered, he then went it and had the bariatric surgery operation done. He is alive and well and doing fine. I think he has lost over 100 pounds.

Thanks James, this info has been right on target with what I have been hearing. I had my pre-op today and the Anes. Doctor said I was fine for his clearance but still had to wait for the Cardi. I'm really hoping that all goes well with my heart issues.

My surgery date came and went without me. My cardiologist said that I had to undergo a heart catheter for a possible placement of a stent. Worst case scenario is that If I get the stent I will wait a month for surgery. I will wait as long as possible to be safe! Best case is that, if the blocked artery can be treated with medicine, then I can have my surgery in a week. Everyone I beg for your prayers for a positive outcome on my heart procedure Monday morning. Blessings. Jan

I will pray that your heart problem is resolved and that you get back on track for the bariatric surgery and that all goes well.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
