A-Fib

I started doing all my pre-op doctor appointments in March 2014. I had Cardiologist, Endoscopy, sleep study and Psychological visits all done in 3 1/2 months. The only problem found from all appoinments at that time was a mild case of sleep apnea and they discovered a few PVC's while I slept during the study. So went back to cardiologist and he put me on a Holter moniter for 21 days. On the the 16th day doctor called me in for immediate visit with some new results from the moniter. The night before he saw A-Fib not PVC's which has resulted in having to take Eliquis, Flecainide, and Beta Blocker meds. Also I just had an Eco Cardiogram which results were fine.

So at this point feeling a little discouraged because my surgery should have been in next few weeks. I do understand thats why they do all these different doctor visits/tests so there's no surprises during surgery and beyond. Basically I was wondering has anyone else had this type of delay and how long did it take for surgery clearance from cardiologist and Bariatric Surgeon. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.
