The results from the echocardiogram are what was to be expected for a person who has been so overweight for so long: I have an enlarged heart. It's a muscle and like any muscle, it's routinely overworked. With that said, everything else was fine - EKG was normal (no arrhythmia), blood pressure was fine (that's what happens when you catch me at 9AM and not 9PM!) and because I'm young enough to not have had any heart attacks or be on any blood thinners or other things that could cause surgery complications, I was given my first medical clearance for surgery!
I'm super excited about it!
