That's wonderful... You got accepted by your insurance first? I have to go through a bunch of clearances and nutrition appointments. I'm going to my last one on Friday and then they will submit it to my insurance. Best wishes on your journey. Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App

Yes... I forgot to mention 2 years ago I had multiple clots on each lung. It was a horrible experience which really makes me scared to have the surgery. I trust my surgeon and I'm moving forward. Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App

I am hoping to have my sleeve surgery in December. I have to give my self shots for 30 days pre op. I have a blood clotting disorder and I don't have a choice. After the 30 days I will go back to my oral blood thinner Xarelto. Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App

There is a series on YouTube called Fat Doctors. The name is annoying but the show is great. It follows Shore Summers and his bariatric team in England. It's kind of like My 600 lb Life it's a really great show and I'm addicted. I'm waiting for new Episodes but it gives you loads of info. I hope some of you watch.

Please excuse the typos I was typing faster than I thought. Just so excited to find someone who is going through this. I have posted a few times and not many people are dealing with this. It helps to talk about it with those who understand. Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App

Hello.. I truly understand what you're going through. I have Factor V Leiden a blood clotting disorder. Two yrs ago I had multiple clots on both if my lungs. I am taking a blood thinner for the rest of my life. My hematologist and surgeon are fine with me having the sleeve. I'm am hoping for a late December surgery. I was told that I would fully be taken care of before and after surgery. I have to give myself shots of heparin for 30 days prior to surgery. I'm very afraid of reclotting but I desperately need this and I willing to take the chance. I hope that everything works out for you. Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App

Does everyone have a stomach drain and what is it for? Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App

Than Thank you for the explanation friend.

I wonder why some people get aspirin to help prevent clotting. I have to give myself heparin shots for 3-4 weeks after my surgery. I have Factor V a clotting disorder, I'm not complaining just curious. Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App

Does everyone have to do the injections. I have Factor V Leiden (a clotting disorder) and I was told that I have to do them after surgery. Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App

She's amazing and so caring. I'm beyond afraid because I have a blood clotting disorder. She and my team of doctors have assured me that they will take care of me. I have faith that all will work out I can't stay this weight anymore. Best wishes friend???? Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App

Hello... I'm from Riverhead, New York I'm going through the hoops for 3 months as per my insurance. I'm having my surgery with Dr. Paayal Mehta at Peconic Bay Medical Center. I'm hoping for a late December surgery as well. Please keep us posted throughout your journey. Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App

That is one of my biggest fears with this surgery. I have a clotting disorder called Factor V Leiden. Two years ago my lungs were filled with clots and I'm on a thinner for possibly life. I was told by my surgeon that they take precautions for patients like me. I will be on heparin shots before and after surgery. I'm still so afraid because he took me so long to recover. I'm still dealing with chest pressure 2 yrs later. I need this so bad and I'm willing to risk it at this point. Best wishes to you make sure they explain the after effects to you. It seems like once the clot dissolve the real issues begin. Sent from my N9132 using the BariatricPal App
