Anyone else have COPD? PH? Heart-Valve Leaks?

I've been sweating it for a couple of weeks now, but my cardiologist and pulmonary docs are finally on the same page. Even though they have told me in the last two weeks that I have COPD, mild pulmonary hypertension, severe tricuspid regurgitation, and mild mitral regurgitation - they are going to sign off on my RNY because losing the weight will lessen the lung and heart problems. Has anyone else deal with any or all of these supplemental "co-morbidities?"  Cheryl

Dr Gornichec and in July hopefully. I have my last NSWL meeting and doc visit on Wed. My Mom has been here with me a couple of weeks - the heart/lung problems really have bitten me in the A*&. Found out today that I have bronchitis - lovely. Ready for Dr G to cut on me! How are you?
