Stress Test question for Dr. Belllows patients.

Hello guys!
I have a Dr. Bellows question?  How many stress tests' did you have? I had one at the initial  application process, but my Cardiologist refuses to give me a second one. He gave me surgery clearance though! Did this ever happen to anyon else? SOOOO  aggravated

Is Dr. Bellow's office requesting another one?
I had 1 stress test done at the end of last
month and pre op said it was ok. Usually a cardiologist is allowed to do 1 a year
through medicaid unless there is a problem with your
heart.I used Dr. Rodrigues at the cardiology
center at West Jeff. Hospital.
When is your surgery date? If its soon they may
be able to use same results.
If you need another one have Sheila or Vanessa
see if they can set you one up through Tulane
with one of the hospital doctors.

 My surgery date is April 11 th. My post op appointment is march 27th.  My cardiologist gave me a clearance  already monday without the stress test. My last stress test was in august? Im soooo stressed i just dont want my surgery date to be pushed back!

call vanessa you might just get by with a ekg and a copy of results from last stress test

 if you don't mind me asking how long did it take you before you were able to have your surgy and how much weigt did you nhave to lose thanks
