Now I have heart problems

Well I had to have a heart stress test before I go to see the surgeon, and today I got the results. It seems the lower left side of my heart is blocked !!! I have an appointment with a cardiologist. Will I have to get this problem sorted out before they will remove the band and do the revision?

Oh boy! When it rains it pours! When you get that fixed you will feel better and have more energy.  Be patient and everything will work out.

Myra,

Don't dispair, it's a blessing that they found it now and can repair it prior to your surgery.  You wouldn't want to be having your revision and then having them find out the hard way.  This is a just a little bump in the road but it will be full steam ahead soon.

Hang in there.
Hugs,

Myra,

Sorry to hear you are having this current problem, but I am so glad they have us do a heart stress test before surgery.  Going into surgery without knowing some of these things could be disasterous.  Wishing you the best of luck with your Cardiologist and in getting this fixed first.  Like the others have said, it is a bump in the road or maybe just a slight detour for the moment.  Once this is all taken care of and you are completely healed you can move forward with your revision and continue on down the road.

Best of luck to you and please keep us posted.
