I'm 54 years old. BMI 27. Lost over 100 pounds so I have excess skin all around. In 2020 I was diagnosed with Coronary Artery Vasospasms on an angiogram where they visualized the spasm. I was given a bit of Nitro and it resolved instantly. Since that time, I have quit smoking and have resolved all my coronary spasms. My cardiologist says he is not worried about my having surgery at all because I am healthy now. Will I still get refused, and why?
