Baruatric surgery

I am currently awaiting bariatric surgery & ive just found out I have angina. Will this rule me out?

Would it be advisable for me to go ahead with the surgery?

Has anyone had the surgery with heart problems?

Thank you x

I think the only person who can answer that is the doctor who will be responsible for your safety during the procedure.You must be feeling very disappointed.

There are a lot of pros and cons, such as your heart health could improve if you can lose weight, but they won't take unneccesary risks.

Fingers crossed for you.
