    Sounds like what I had. What other tests were you expecting?

    My surgeon only ordered chest -X-ray, labs & EKG. I wonder if this is enough?? He feels like it is. Anyone in a similar situation ?

    I had to do labs, chest xray, some metabolic rate test. Breathing test, psych, sleep study,stress test and that ended up for me having to have an angiogram. I'm done with everything and it's a waiting game now for insurance approval. Was submitted last friday. Ughhhhh.

    I had an echocardiogram, venous study, and a stress test. Their cardiologist reviewed my tests and gave the green light that I would be able to withstand the surgery.

    My insurance didn't require a psychological evaluation. I'm so glad!
