My Husband's Heart

As I have said before, my DH is working to get a lap band, since February!  Doing his diet and all his tests.  Went in yesterday for the results of his stress test.  He has a problem with the bottom of his heart.  The tests show he had a heart attack sometime in the past.  He has no recollection of one.  SOOO - now more tests.  A trip to the Heart Clinic in New Bern and a heart cathaterization later in the month.  LAST month, we had a scare when his abdominal ultrasound showed nodules on his kidney.  Further tests proved they had "no medical significance."  We are NOT gonna worry until we have further proof of a problem (Yeah, right!)  We are still confident that this WLS will happen sometime in the future.  Meanwhile - he is being checked out from top to toe, so that is a good thing.

Good morning!  I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's health issues.  I guess it was a good thing that he found out about these problems first though, right?
I'm sending you a big hug and a special prayer that things will be fine for both of you.  Wishing you both good health.
Take care.....

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband.

I is good they found this now. This is just one of those many hurdles along the way to WLS. When the time is right he will have his Lapband.

Thanks everyone for all of your positive thoughts and prayers.                       All these tests are a pain, and seem to be never-ending, but at least they are thorough, and we know when all is done, he will have the guts of a 25 year old.  Now, if we can just get the outside to match!                                           We had a great time with our company, but I am glad to have the house back to ourselves.  WELLL, it is never REALLY ourselves, with our son's family just 6 doors down, but you know what I mean.  I LOVE company, and I love cooking for everyone, but once a year is also wonderful!  Our daughter and her kids are back in OR and began a new school this week.  My Mom is in NY visiting her siblings and my Dad's siblings and my Sister.  She goes back to TX on the 16th.  We are now waiting for our next visitor, Hanna.  I hope she stays away!
