Ok alot of people dont know what it is ! Factor V leiden is a genetic blood disorder where your blood is to thick and you can throw blood clots easly ! I found out i had it 10 yrs ago and have been on coumadin . Just curious if anyone else on here had the same issues????

Hi Mandy. I have Factor 5 too. Only issues pertained to stopping coumadin prior to surgery, I developed a GI bleed and was placed in ICU for 3 days, but it was due to an ulcer (unknown cause). I think that because I took the blook thinning injections prior to flying home that did not help with the GI bleed. Would you be having surgery here in the states or what's your plan?

Yes it will be here in the states thank u so much for your in put how are you doing now and how long have u been sleeved for?
