Just when I thought I was at the end
So today was the last of my 6 month documented diet plan and I was to have my letters, yada yada for the insurance. Everything was going great until I did the EKG which showed an enlarged left ventricle so off I went to get an echocardiogram done and now instead of having everything done for insurance I am waiting for the results.Crud...I guess it's better to find out now than during surgery if something is wrong but I am so excited I don't want to wait a minute more...6 months was enough

I know it sucks-but better safe!!!! I too had an EKG with an abnormality-which in turn led to a stress test. My PCP is an awesome Dr and his findings were in line with the cardiologists.
Basically the wiring in the left side of my heart is screwed up-however, that did NOT keep me from having surgery! May require a pacemaker some day-but I'm glad I know now.
Fingers crossed!
I'm sorry, I had a similar setback today and I agree with the others.. better to find out now than have a complication in surgery!

I too had this happen, I ended up having to have heart cathe done but they did not find a blockage. Make sure your cardiologist knows that you are looking at having wls because there are options on what they can do. For example, if there had been a blockage and they needed to insert a stent, if he had used a medicated stent I would had to have waited a year for wls. If he used an unmedicated stent, I only had to wait 1-3 months. I ended up not having a blockage I had surgery 1 month later as scheduled.
This is a blessing that they have found this now and can address it. Nine months after surgery, I was released from my heart doctor as everything was back to normal and hope I never have to go back again!
Good Luck!
