Hi arrow1

Have you been given a timescale for an angiogram? They are certainly being honest if they are telling you about the risks of the procedure but like all things the benefits outweigh the risks and given the number of procedures like this carried out I imagine that go wrong are small.

Good on you for losing weight and would suggest you keep doing so. Plenty of info and help on here as a few of us have had more than a few angiograms over the years.
