I weigh 273 lbs.Iam 5 4 .I just had a Catheter Ablation 6 weeks ago.My EKG this week showed I had a flutter but not Afib.I know it takes about 3 months for scar tissue to form.I am going to have a gastric by-pass as soon as cardiologist gives OK.Should I be concerned
Mistress echo test should be done prior to your operation, if stress echo is normal, and no arrhythmia is precipitated during the test then you can go for the operation, in case arrhythmia precipitates then you have to wait for the tissue to scar completely. Stress echo will decide whether you can go for surgery or not!
