I was banded last thursday. I had stockings post op but have not been on any anti clotting medication. Are clots more common with certain pre existing problems or just anyone post op? :embaressed_smile:

Hello, I am Barbara from Spokane Washington. I am in the process of selecting a Dr. for my lap band surgery. I have scheduled for june the 24th with Dr. Kuri in Tijuana Mexico. I am scared to death now that I have made the date. I will be going alone, short notice to entice a friend to go with me. I just made the appointment today and if my work approves the time off I will be flying to SanDiego on the 23rd. Be picked up there and taken to the hospital. Does anyone have any regrets that has had the surgery? I have about 75 pounds to loose and am both excited and scared. I am an xray tech and move around large patients and equipment, I am told I will be ready to work the 1st of July. That is just 7 days, what do you all think. Would that be pushing it. I am very healthy and was back to work after my gall bladder was removed in one week. I am rambling, nervous I guess. I would appreciate any response, answers ect that anyone would like to offer. Thank you and HI ALL Barb:crying:
