Anyone else not appropriate for treadmill test?

My surgeon has requested a series of tests post-op. I had no problems with the psychosocial eval nor with the nutritionist. However, his criteria also includes an evaluation by a cardiologist. I know from the past that I am too large to do a treadmill test (the same cardiologist told me this). Does this mean I won't qualify for surgery?
