WLS plans dashed

[Ariatdadisco 24]

This group has been amazing and supportive in the week or so since I've been a member but fate has dealt me the cruelest of ironies. My WLS consultation with a surgeon was scheduled for next Monday. I told you guys in my initial post that I have a history of DVT and PE. This dates back to 2011, one catastrophic event that nearly ended my life. I haven't had one since and have been off blood thinners for three and half years. Today, after being in severe pain and noticing swelling in my other leg (not the one I had the original clot in), I found out that I once again have blood clot. WLS will not be an option for the foreseeable future and I'm on an emotional tailspin. Thank you all for you encouragement since I joined this group.

I'm so sorry. Prayers that they will be able to safely dissolve the clot without it traveling.

Wow...Sorry to hear, but optimistic that they will be able to disolve it...Glad they found it now, so no repocussions later..Try the apple cidar vinegar regiment...A lot of people are swearing by it...I got bad news too...My doctor called and said my eco was abnormal...I go to the cardiologist tomorrow...He has the last say...If I can't have it, I will do the apple cidar vinegar regiment as well...Best wishes to you...God bless us all...

Aw, hon. I'm sorry to hear it. Those darn clots have no say in your body!!! Believe that. My mom just dealt with a massive one in her lung and I can understand the grief. But let's believe all will be well hon. I'd encourage you to change your eating now, even though you won't be having wls. Change a few things now, they'll make a huge impact and difference over time. Get with a nutritionist if you can anyway. I speak blessings over you hon, please stay on. I'd love to hear how great you're doing anyhow. 😊

I am so sorry!!! But...now you can get it taken care of and then start making changes to your diet add exercise (if you can). Life sucks sometimes, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE and KEEP ON KEEPING ON!! You are so much better off that it happened (if it had to happen) that it happened now instead of later after WLS. Use this time to get healthy and well. Good Luck

Hi my family doctor said my EKG came up abnormal during pre-surgery testing and had me go to a Cardiologist who did a new one and asked a couple of questions like can you walk up 2 flights of stairs without stopping and breathing real hard. The echo and EKG are different but the cardiologist cleared me on the spot. I pray that you get good results. This all happened the Thursday before my Monday surgery.
