Sorry for the delayed reply. Cardiologist recommended heart cath. Had that done through the arm (radial) instead of leg yesterday afternoon. No blockages!! He said all is good!! My blood pressure did drop again during the cath procedure to 51/26 and I felt like I was gonna pass out but he said that was due to something he injected in artery. Gave me something to combAt that and all was normal again.

My arm is a little sore today and I’ve got to keep this pressure bandage on until 6:00 tonight.

Headed Back to my Bariatric surgeon today for follow up.

Well I had both my cardiac Cath through the radial artery as did Tomkitten( my son) . So much better route than through the femoral artery in the groin. Had good friend who had his done through that route. You have to lay flat with your pressure bandage on so long but the thing he hated even more was ha had a painful lump for so long. Put a hitch in his giddy-up!
So glad yours turned out uneventful ---now back to the bariatric surgeon and see what happens next! Maybe back to surgery,and things will get completed?🙏😛

So very sorry to hear that but yet again was for the best I am sure. I never had to have cardiologist clearance prior to surgery. I did, however, need to have an EKG done with the other preop testing. Not sure of your age but I do know a lot of the preop testing used to be different depending on your age.
I am sure you are crushed but YOU ARE ALIVE! Good luck at the cardiologist and keep your chin up.

Glad you were cleared with no blockages! I am concerned about your blood pressure constantly going down during your procedures. Are you going to talk to your Surgeon about putting a plan in place should that happen again that would allow him to continue with your surgery and not stop it again?

Something very similar happened to my during my surgery. Was supposed to have VSG two weeks ago but my heart had issues and they stopped surgery after the first incision. Has been a huge emotional rollercoaster, lots of disappointment, and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to try for the surgery again.

Very sorry to hear about your experience, I am also on lisinopril and bystolic my surgeon took me off lisinopril before surgery I also had bad EKG's had a Angiogram to get cleared, I wish you the best in getting your surgery done and without issues.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
