But other specialists are scaring me anybody else experience this . I was scared to begin with now I'm really starting to second guess my decision

Blood clots are scary. Just do what they tell you and walk walk walk. Think of this, if you are prone to blood clots... The worst thing you can be is obese. It's a clot magnet!!!
