I just happen to stumble on this site while i was looking at the obesityhelp.com sight, and I am glad I did. It is so nice to find a sight that everyone has the lapband surgery. I have a question tho, I have just had a PE (bloodclot in the Lung) on May 26, 2006, and wanted to know if there was anyone else that has had this complication and the surgery or not? I go to my Dr. seminar tommorow night and am looking forward to learning more about this problem. I have had a Cardiologist, a Pulminologist and my regular doctor tell me that this surgery is something I should be looking into. The Cardiologist and the Pulminologist both came in to see me while I was in the hospital and told my family if I did not get the weight off I would never see my son graduate, he is only 4 years old. I am on Cumadin for the PE and my levels are where they should be :confused: . But I am scared along with my family, my wife, brother and mother support me in this but my father and step mother don't. I know I am 38 almost 39 and it would help if I had everyones support on this. Thank you for listening, Bigdog :help:
