So my surgery date is next Friday, and yesterday I was told my EKG was abnormal. I already have abnormal ekgs but was told that it was nothing to be concerned about after a stress test. This is a new abnormality. I'm freaking out! I meet with the cardiology group tomorrow to see what is going on.. If this pushes back my surgery i'm going to cry.. We'll not really but now I'm really worried something is wrong with my heart. My last EKG was less than a year ago and was fine.. Abnormal, but fine.

I had an abnormal EKG before surgery too. The ekg team couldn't explain it, the heart doctor wasn't concerned, but all came clear when I spoke to my non-WLS doctor team because they were able to tell me that the abnormalities in the EKG could be explained by some medications I'm taking. Do discuss your EKG with ALL your doctors, and bring the printout with you. You may not have anything at all to worry about.

What was your previous abnormality?

It was a non specific T wave abnormality. I had a stress test back when that was first found and that came out fine. I'm hoping that this instance may be related to the caffeine I had that morning, it was the first time in awhile and I wasn't thinking that it probably wasn't the best idea before an EKG. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Good news! I'm not dying lol. The cardiologist said my EKG looked like any other women's EKG and that my heart sounds fine. He wants to follow up with me in a year to see how I do after surgery but other than that all is well!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
