My stress test results

WooHoo!! My heart function is "nearly normal". This is a wonderful thing. I have such slight damage to my heart after the heart attack one year ago. I am very happy about this and so is my cardiologist. He said he'll talk to me closer to my surgery date. He says I should be good for surgery. WooHoo!! Rachelle

Congratulations Rachelle! I recently had a stress test as well and was pleasantly surprised too :>) I was not as happy to hear that I seem to be at greater risk for a stroke. WTF? And that she wanted me to start doing 50 minutes of cardio five times a week ~ that's like a second job! Anyway, I start this week, sigh, I'm adding a day every two weeks or so. I think I'm gonna be walking the treadmill in my sleep! But you know what, I'm healthy and sober and thin and happy to be alive and grateful for my health. And I have spent 50 minutes doing stuff that was less fun and worse for me! Glad to hear you're doing well, Namaste, Donna

Thanks Donna! 50 minutes 5 days a week is alot of cardio. But you can do it....I have faith in you! Rachelle

thats so great rachel. i know you have been worried about that for a while now.. Now you just gotta keep on keeping on til the day of your surgery.. I am so happy for you

Thanks Carla. It is a great relief. I was very concerned about getting back to "normal", and WLS will play a big part in my leading a healthy, high-quality life. Rachelle

Hey there - congratulations!! I've been MIA (as I'm sure you noticed). Hope all is on schedule. When is your date again?

Hey stranger! I was worried about you. What's up? Hope everything is ok. My date is August 6. Of course, this is pending insurance approval. Rachelle
