Yes, you can have bariatric surgery if you have minor cardiac disease, but you may require medical permission from your cardiologist. Most heart-related disorders are improved by bariatric surgery, including:
High Blood Pressure
Cholesterol
Lipid issues
Enlargement of the heart
Coronary and vascular disease
Make your surgeon or nurse aware of any heart issues you have throughout the pre-anesthetic screening process. Those with a history of atrial fibrillation, cardiac valve replacement, prior stents, or heart bypass surgery typically fare well. If you are taking blood thinners of any kind, you should expect particular instructions before and after surgery.
