My EKG saw something and I had a nuclear stress test which showed a problem. Cardiac cath next week. Had my second doctor and NUT visits today. I lost one pound. BMI still over 35, barely. If I need a stent my RNY will be postponed a short time, hopefully not. If a stent will be on a blood thinner one month. In very good spirits. I'm following all NUT instructions. I have increased physical activity. I thank God because if I didn't want this RNY, I would never know I had a heart issue. And again, Doctor said it may be nothing. Nuclear stress tests aren't perfect, so that is why the cath. One more Doctor and NUT visit, next month. Thanks.

I'll post as soon as I know the results. If I do need a stent, I have to stay overnight in hospital. 

Good news is after my last weigh in, Doctor visit, and NUT visit all paperwork goes to insurance. Also I can try to lose a few more pounds before surgery. I just want to be the healthiest I can be before surgery. Look like the only meds I'll need to take after surgery (fingers crossed) is my generic synthroid and Vitamin D.  Goodbye diabetes!!!  CPAP, not sure. It may take a marked weight loss to get of sleep apnea.

Boy I'm glad they are checking on this now!   After WLS if you didn't feel good you might have brushed it off as an after effect of the WLS.

I've known some of our LW's to get off of their CPAP machines practically right away. My DH has one I can't get him to use.  He is such a stubborn stinker some times.

YES...keep us updated!

Update.  Had my cardiac cath this morning. My arteries are squeaky clean. No blockages nor do I need a stent. Looks like I'm clear for my RNY. One more cardiac post of visit to check my groin area.  Was put in a twilight sleep and just felt a pinch when given the numbing shot in groin area. Doing the happy dance area. I'm still sore and will return to work Monday. BF is caring for me now. One more Doctor and NUT visit next month.
