For all post ops 1 yr or more out-- Do you find you have a lower heart rate?

I am 14 mos. out and have been diagnosed as having bradycardia -- low heart rate. My resting heart rate is 41 bpm. I am having an echo and a stress test next week, but the cardiologist seems to think this may be normal after loosing all this weight. His theory is that our hearts had to work so hard for so long, that now that they don't have to work so hard, they're in great shape and don't have to pump as hard. Anyone else have any insights on this? Thanks.
