Abnormality shown on stress test now I need nuclear stress test done. Anyone experience this?? What happens next if that's abnormal? Will I not be cleared for surgery? :'(

I'm sad now...

Heart stress test? Are they worried about anesthesia? Um yes that would be something to be worried about and I'd get that fixed before, God forbid, an emergency surgery happens (as opposed to elective WLS).

The cardiologist is needing to get more information about what is possibly going on in your heart in order to make the surgery as safe as possible. I don't know how often they actually refuse clearance, I know with several kinds of heart issues, it just affects what they have to do for anesthesia, but it's possible to get cleared anyway. Unfortunately, there's no way to predict, you'll have to consult with the cardiologist after the test. Good luck!!
