    Hey everyone! I just want to send a friendly reminder to everyone that after your surgery remember to walk! I was banded two weeks ago and had a bad experience from the surgery. I spent one night in the hospital under nurses care and ended up with a blood clot in my leg. The nurses never got me up for a walk that night, and the first nurse I had never turned on the booties that go around your legs to circulate your blood. I believe this is why the clot formed. Since I have some medical background I knew going into surgery that I needed to walk afterwards but I was on some strong pain meds and I forgot all about it. Tell whoever is with you post op that you must walk, just in case. I don't want anyone to experience what I've been through with this blood clot.
