Abnormal EKG and Surgery is Postponed!!!

Hey I`m really upset right now.I was supose to have my surgery tomorrow but they had to postpone it.I did my pre op testing done and had a bad EKG so they sent me for another one...Yesturday they called me to tell me that it was abnormal too....so now I have to have a stress test done...which they are doing this thursday.I understand why they are making me have a stress test done...But my problem is now I`m worried that maybe there is something wrong with me...I was already worried about the what if`s of having WLS done now this???Has anyone else had the same thing happen to them?I can`t hardly sleep and now I find myself worrying all the time about this..I could really use some help about right now. Thanks, Melissa

Hi Melissa, Calm down hon. Everything will be fine. It's not uncommon for things like this to come up. My surgery was also postponed after they were already IN laparoscopically! It's better that they postponed you now then to wake up from anesthesia like I did and find out that they didn't do your surgery! I've gone through surgery and will have to go through it again in a couple of weeks after thinking I had finally gotten through this hurdle! You will be ok, I will keep us both in my prayers. Things happen for a reason, I really believe that and when the time is right, you will have your surgery and so will I. Hugs, Vi

actually, i had to have a stress test and had to wear a heart monitor for 24 hours and i ended up with an irregular heartbeat. i didn't have to go back after that and i now have a slight heart murmur but they are not concerned about it since it is so slight. go and have your stress test and don't worry as it could be anything even something so slight. your ekg will fail even if your heartbeat is slightly irregular. best find out but if you worry it will cause your heartbeat to go looney. keep advised and will be thinking of you. cheryl
