Question:
I had a nuclear stress test last week in preparation for WLS on 4/14/03. They found

a possible blockage and want to do a cardiac catherization. Is this going to prevent me from having WLS? Has anyone had the same situation? What happened? HELP, I'm really stressing here!!!    — suzcar51 (posted on December 31, 2002)

I had the same test. Scared my so bad. It did cause my frist wls date to be cancel because it was so close. But when I talked to the heart Dr. she didn't think it wasn't enough to put off wls. reason why. my other test was ok. She felt this test showed something because of my weight. other words my weight vs the machine. She said That she didn't see how the machine could tell anything because of my weight. and the cath down my leg was out. anyhow she give me a ok for the surgery. And plus my understand was if something was wrong take care of it frist then continue to the wls. God Bless and hang in there.

Hi! I had the same test and they told me the same thing...I to was scared to death. They did the cardiac cath on me and didn't see a blockage on that they said all i had was left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and would be helped or possibly cured if i lost weight. My cardiologist said that when you have fairly large breasts that it can cause them to see something but it's almost always nothing. So that's probably all it is don't worry...hope this helps and good luck to you :)

Same thing happened to my husband, the cath showed everything normal. If they do find something, consider this lucky in that blockages can be treated today. Even if you have to postpone for a while, it will happen for you.
